Located on the outskirts of the city, in an unassuming commercial district, this hotel overlooks the sea and is set against a backdrop of rolling hills with a picturesque view of Mount Kinabalu.
To set it apart from the many tourist hotels in the city, the designers created an aesthetic with an industrial, raw back-to-basics feel that celebrates the essence and quality of natural materials.
This was translated through exposed concreate shear walls; steel mesh ceilings; gabion wall features; concrete cast reception table; timber bed frames; mesh wardrobes; steel rebar and chequered plate staircase; fair-faced clay brick façade feature walls and CNC-cut steel plate signage; among others.
