Morning After The Rain

A Retreat Hotel In The Oakland

HGI Hotel, situated in the central business district of Oakland, is inspired by the serene atmosphere of the redwood forest after a refreshing rain in Redwood Park. The vision of this project is to offer weary travelers a retreat of serenity, a respite from their journey.

The design emphasizes the use of raw materials, harmoniously blending natural and artificial light. This evokes the feeling of the pure clarity of raindrops, the soft warmth of sunshine filtering through leaves, and the fresh scent of moistened soil. HGI Hotel invites guests to experience the serenity of the forest after rainfall amid the bustling city. The color palette of this project reflects the post-rain scene with the earthly brown floor, lush green walls, translucent lighting fixtures, and organic patterned wallpapers. It’s a place where serenity meets the cityscape.
