The primary design objective was reflecting both the familiar world of Fattal’s hospitality and the developing CO-WORKING world. A space where values and principles of accommodation and personal attention meet with teamwork and networking. The design challenge was creating a space appealing to tenants looking for a cooperative and pleasant work environment, while also providing a hotel experience. The Fattal vision is to create a hybrid connecting the world of hospitality with the world of office spaces and to achieve a new type of experience. The programmatic design puts an emphasis on creating enveloping workspaces, while using the space closer to the buildings core for public functions including meeting points and informal work areas. The resident of ROOMS has a range of work areas to choose from, if it’s an informal meeting in the LOUNGE, desks in the LOBBY or a private conversation in the BOOTH.

A holistic approach was taken, striving for a balance between the established hotel approach and the young and vibrant office world. It is apparent in the space through the materiality, branding and art, custom carpentry and lighting. For example, the reception floor is of marble fragments instilled in concrete, while the lighting is of a traditional hotel.
The proximity of the NYX Hotel and ROOMS is of great importance, they are joined by an intimate corridor with unique nonconformist art, connecting the mysterious darker NYX and the rich innovative ROOMS.
