PROJECT NAME PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
HOTEL NOX The Nox Hotel is a boutique hotel with 24 uniquely furnished rooms, the Nox Lounge bar, and a furniture showroom.

Celovška cesta 469, Ljubljana, Slovenia 1000 The hotel boasts a modern and fresh interior, richly furnished in wood, and an exciting variety of interior designs.

TYPE The idea for the hotel arose from the desire to bring a furniture showroom and a hotel under one roof. As a furni-
Hotel 24 different rooms, 4****, ture manufacturing company, the investor would include its products in the hotel interior, while offering furniture
Conference from Slovenian and foreign manufacturers for sale in the furniture showroom. The aim was to create a building

Furniture Showroom, with different sample rooms that would present a variety of interior design approaches to prospective investors.
Lounge Bar with Terrace

The architecture of the Nox Hotel points to the multi-purpose nature of the building, indicating the inves-
COMPLETION DATE tor’s activity through two distinctive elements – the elegant facade of gently curved laminated panels fixed on
2013 black mirror glass, resembling a Chesterfield sofa, and the roof above the entrance to the Nox Lounge and

the frame of the furniture showroom’s display window, which imitate the edge of a piece of furniture. Both
INVESTOR elements also appear in the hotel interior in the distinctive form of the wooden ceilings, the reception desk
HIT PRELESS d.o.o. and the bar counter in the lobby and the Nox Lounge, and in the details of furnishings, especially in the cor-

ridors and rooms. Our wish was to create a raw yet plain and attractive appearance. Curved elements on the
ARCHITECTURE façade gave the building its recognition. We wanted to use real wood in a form of plywood. But weather condi-
NIMO STUDIO d.o.o. tions and heavy traffic near the building would be too aggressive for the real wood. Then we decided to use

Niki Motoh a HPL laminate material. Now each panel is made from three different 3 mm thick high pressure laminated
Tjaša Pavlovič Logar, Haris Brčkalija layer in wood decor. These panels were curved in a high pressure dome which is actually used for chair in-

dustry. The technology was used for the first time for something completely different and it works very well.
INTERIOR DESIGN
NIMO STUDIO d.o.o. The multi-purpose nature of the building demanded a great deal of creativity in furnishing the interior, particularly

Niki Motoh the 24 completely different hotel rooms. To achieve a diversity of ideas, several other Slovenian designers and
Aleš Košak, Miha Volk, Maja Humar, Egon Murič, Alex Greblo, Nataša Osojnik architects were invited to participate in the project. This approach was more demanding in terms of organisa-

tion and more expensive in terms of the time and effort required, as it entailed a greater number of projects,
PHOTOGRAPHY smaller quantities of materials, more diverse materials, and many different pieces of furniture and equipment that
Dan Briški needed to be produced. But the effort has paid off and the end result is a wide variety of creatively furnished

rooms. An interesting feature of the rooms is the unconventional, glass-walled bathrooms. The glass wall allows
SITE AREA natural light to enter the bathroom and connects the bathroom with the room space, providing a more spacious
1100 m2 feel to the room’s interior. The rooms differ greatly from one another, each having a character of its own. We

have experimented a lot with both the layouts and the use of materials to achieve the desired effects, present a
CONSTRUCTION AREA variety of interior design approaches, and offer a different hotel experience to that of more conventional hotels.
