The materials, colours and textures of the different proposals respond to two needs: strengthening the brand’s image and adapting the space to users’ possible sensory or motor impairments

Students from the Master in Interior Design for Hotels, Bars, Restaurants and Commercial Property have worked on a new interior design project for the hotel brand Ilunion, belonging to the Once group, which is committed to the integration of people with disabilities into the workplace as well as accessible tourism. 

Following research on the brand, the functioning of its spaces and their level of accessibility, the students developed an interior design concept for the shared spaces, lobby and corridors, and a first concept for the rooms, the latter falling within the framework of their Final Master’s Projects.

The project by Maria Isabel Castillo Cáceres is based on the principles of neuroarchitecture, using colours and textures inspired by nature and the circadian cycle. The combination of these elements is designed to improve guests’ nervous systems, providing an environment that promotes rest and regeneration.

Continuing with the principles of neuroarchitecture, the project by student Maria del Carmen Peignand incorporates elements such as vegetation, natural lighting and the application of different textures and materials so that the user can embark upon a sensory journey. In this project, the furniture and wall and floor coverings are understood as a guide so that the space communicates directly with the user by way of the senses.

Student Sheryl López Ramírez was inspired by concepts from Japanese culture that make reference to fluidity, nature and light, highlighting elements related to accessibility and colours.

In her Final Master’s Project, Maria del Rosario Seoane presents a fluid and versatile space thanks to modular panels made from recycled plastic and coffee printed in 3D. This proposal includes an important circularity approach, as it not only minimises the environmental impact of plastic waste, but also gives it a new use with the aim of improving the well-being of users.
