“The history and location of Cheval Hyde Park Gate were sources of inspiration for the interior concept. Hyde Park Gate was once the site of the mews stables for Hyde Park. This, and the name of the operator, Cheval, fed into the equestrian references within the design. Each apartment includes a double and twin bedroom, both of which have bespoke Cheval beds, an en-suite bathroom and a fitted wardrobe. Kitchens are fully fitted with Shaker-style cabinetry.”

“It is very important when designing long stay luxury apartments to achieve the best possible balance between what you bring in and what you leave out,” said Una Barac-Tinegate, executive director of Atellior. “Guests should be able to enjoy their stay in their own way and the design should support, not conflict with, the way they want to make it home, sometimes for many months at a time.”

"Designed by renowned architect Otto Barić and Croatia-based interior designer firm Atellior Studio, AC Hotel by Marriott Split takes shape with clean modern lines and aesthetically proportioned spaces. The soothing and warm color palette together with the adoption of natural materials like oak, patinated brass and linen effect wallpaper allows spaces to blend from one to another, blurring the line between inside and out. Curious travelers can peek through a glass door to view part of a 1700-year-old Roman aqueduct running throughout the property location. Flexible and open communal spaces are designed to provide maximum comfort and function, making them perfect for business meetings and socializing.

Awarded Project Le Meridien Lav featured in Hospitality Interiors

Our latest awarded project Le Meridien Lav featured in Hospitality Interiors Issue 107 – June 2023

View article online

 

The Le Méridien Lav has long been one of Split’s most impressive and upmarket hotels. A popular and well-loved local destination since its completion in the early 1970s, the Lav (meaning ‘lion’ in Croatian) boasts a prime waterfront location, stunning sea views, with glamour and exclusivity provided by the marina and private beach. Nearby Split is one of the most vibrant cities on the Croatian Adriatic, with its historic centre designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Lav has recently undergone a major refurbishment of the public areas, including bar and lounge, wine cellar, conference facilities, meeting rooms and a total of 378 guest rooms, in addition to the design of four new suites. Additionally, the aim was to equally accommodate the needs of both leisure and business guests and to elevate the quality of the hotel and resort experience.

“We were doubly honoured to be invited by the owner to design its refurbishment in addition to having the opportunity to work on an upscale brand for Marriott”, said Una Barac, the co-founder of Atellior, the architecture and design studio which oversaw the restoration works.

The Le Méridien Lav has long been one of Split’s most impressive and upmarket hotels. A popular and well-loved local destination since its completion in the early 1970s, the Lav (meaning ‘lion’ in Croatian) boasts a prime waterfront location, stunning sea views, with glamour and exclusivity provided by the marina and private beach. Nearby Split is one of the most vibrant cities on the Croatian Adriatic, with its historic centre designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The unique setting of Le Méridien Lav affords breath-taking views of the surrounding archipelago and the new interior space plan maximises opportunities to enjoy these vistas to the full from the guestrooms and public areas. Atellior saw the opportunity to reinvigorate the building’s original mid-century aesthetic – very much in keeping with the brand values of Le Méridien – while respecting the hotel’s heritage and conveying a sense of Mediterranean joie de vivre. 

The signature Specialty Suite, provides a contrast to the overall design scheme, featuring a more playful aesthetic, with specially sourced furniture and ceramics by Croatian artists contributing to the unique ambiance. Highlights include a striking self-standing headboard, a  Wall & Deco feature wallpaper; in the master bedroom, there is and custom-made feature vanity in calacatta viola marble while the walk-in shower showcases sleek stone veneers. 

The renovated hotel space succeeds in achieving a stylish, modern, relaxed interior, suitable for business and leisure travelers alike, which celebrates the building’s cultural historical significance and importance as a local landmark.

 

Atellior won the BIG SEE Interior Design Award 2023

Atellior won the BIG SEE Interior Design Award 2023 for the Palazzo Rainis Hotel & Spa project

View article online

 

Originally a private coastal villa built around 1900 for the Venetian pharmacist Giovanni Rainis, the initial client brief was to renovate the building and convert it to a boutique heritage hotel. However, as the structure was beyond repair, Atellior worked in conjunction with other architects to build an exact replica of the villa, adding two new annexes, which reinterpret the Palazzo’s Neoclassical Viennese motifs and marry them harmoniously with contemporary architecture.

The interior of Palazzo Rainis embodies a harmonious mix of both heritage and innovation. This has translated into a refined modern style punctuated with details that nod to the building’s past. Atellior has achieved a storied interior design concept, by referencing the original owner’s profession and incorporating these elements subtly throughout the hotel. In keeping with the history of the building as a family home, the design has created a sense of exclusive yet intimate relaxation more commonly found in a private villa.

This project has also been nominated for the Grand Prix award in the subcategory tourism buildings.

Una Barac took part in a roundtable organised by Space Magazine

Executive Director Una Barac-Tinegate took part in a roundtable: 'Small bathrooms with big ambitions', organised by Hotel SPACE magazine and Geberit at 'SMITHS'​ of Smithfield.

We all know that space comes at a premium in hospitality design. But as bathrooms get smaller and the guest expectations get bigger, how can designers still deliver the five-star experience? Meeting at Smiths of Smithfield, leading hospitality interior designers met with Emma Kennedy and Geberit as part of a Roundtable event primarily dedicated to the subject of bathroom space. Like all lively discussions, the conversation spanned everything from lighting to sustainability, raising interesting points along the way and even better solutions

Returning to the original question of what Guests were looking for in 2022. Una says "In terms of product, the main thing will always be the shower. Everyone understands that guests expect a good powerful shower, and that really is your basic requirement. However, the expectations looking forward will probably change in terms of water consumption and sustainability, and how we can be more mindful of how we use water. I think this is where we as designers have a massive responsibility to interrogate everything including the products that we specify. We have to check the supply chains- to know that everything has been responsibly sourced."

At the Roundtable event 'Small bathrooms with big ambitions', alongside Una, editor Emma Kennedy gathered a group of experts:
• Lynne Clapham-Carter, Geberit UK
• Amal Yusef, David Collins Studio
• Caroline Campbell, TONIK. ASSOCIATES
• Yi-Zhen Jones, twenty2degrees Design Partnership

A member of the Small Luxury Hotels network, Palazzo Rainis is slated to open in March, featuring 16 rooms and suites, a state-of-the-art spa and the Croatian fine-dining restaurant Chemistry.”

Atellior has been shortlisted at the British Homes Awards 2022

Atellior has been shortlisted at the British Homes Awards 2022 in the category "Best Interior Design: Development" with the project Royal Arsenal Riverside Apartment.

View article online

 

Royal Arsenal Riverside is one of London’s most exciting Thames-side addresses. Occupying a prime location along the river, the 400-unit development is also home to London’s newest Creative District.

The brief was to celebrate British maximalism; Atellior responded by creating a modern reinterpretation of the Arts and Crafts aesthetic, which championed craftsmanship and favoured bold forms and strong colours, often based on flora and fauna. Atellior took key design inspiration from Vivienne Westwood and Alexander McQueen, who are synonymous with a tongue-in-cheek reinvention of British romantic historicism, a reverence for bespoke craftsmanship and a love of the natural world. Accordingly, Atellior have curated a sensuous multi-layered interior which seamlessly blends textured wallcoverings, luxurious upholstery, elegant bespoke joinery and luxurious finishes, to create a richly coloured vibrant space with a sense of grandeur.

Atellior used local bespoke joinery firms and sourced furniture and fittings from British ISO accredited manufacturers, designers and artisans to help limit the carbon footprint. One of the innovations of the design is the relatively high proportion of bespoke joinery, which brought its own challenges in terms of scale and budget. Additionally, the bathrooms were manufactured pod-style off-site which demanded a meticulous approach to planning to achieve a seamless installation. The finished show apartment responds to both its environment and the client brief by offering the target buyer (a young professional or overseas investor) the perfect opportunity to buy into a piece of quintessential British design; a magnificently eclectic yet incredibly glamorous jewel box of a home.

The design is influenced by London’s docklands, paying homage to the cultural and commercial history of the surrounding area. The palette for the Saffron Wharf apartments is bold yet sophisticated, incorporating playful pops of colour and pattern. Added to this are touches of brushed brass and gold-veined marble which further enhance the design scheme and nod to the spice-trading heritage of Saffron Wharf. The geometric lines of the bespoke joinery reference the architecture found along the east banks of the river Thames. Black marble, brushed brass inlays, and dark veneered details convey Atellior’s bold and creative vision for the apartment. Locality, both historical and contemporary, is the driving catalyst in the creation of a new sense of place.

Atellior wins the BIG SEE Interior Design Award 2022 for the Le Meridien Lav Hotel Project

View article online

 

The main task in the refurbishment of Le Méridien Lav was to achieve a balance between the Mediterranean ambience and the mid-century spirit of this legendary hotel. Located in the vicinity of Split, it is the largest hotel on this part of Dalmatian Coast. The project scope was to refurbish the reception area, lobby and bar with accompanying terraces. Repositioning the bar opened up the floor plan and maximised guest views of the unique and spectacular setting. In the bar, intimate ambiences were created with carefully positioned partitions and furniture. The reception area was redesigned to create a multi-use lounge space and features an original 3d wall sculpture centrepiece above the reception pods. The artwork is a parametric outline of the nearby coastline. The overall interior design scheme connects the indoor and outdoor areas opening up the lobby to the terraces.


With sustainability being a key consideration, we preserved and reintegrated the existing stone flooring and cladding; used locally sourced materials (wood), as well as collaborated with locally-based artisans. Biophilic design helps replicate the essence of the surrounding Mediterranean flora. Atellior has celebrated the importance of the hotel’s legendary history as a hub of the vibrant Split culture through the curation and display of mid-century photographs documenting everyday life in Split and Dalmatia. As the final result, the public areas were given a modern and airy feel while respecting the building’s heritage and importance as a local landmark.

This project has also been nominated for the Grand Prix award in the category Hospitality.
