Provided
by notable furniture in Cambodia construction
materials, a joined venture between architects John Mills, James Warren, and Emily Reich,
the presented interior was part of Southern Cross Hotel. The main objective in
the renovation was to provide both new and old clients a sense of home.
"We wanted to create interiors with the comfort and detail that a
private house might have," said Warren. "The central space that
greets visitors, for example, has a variety of chairs, a large feature ceiling
representing traditional Pacific woven ceilings, and a chandelier hanging
alongside this. Everywhere you look something different catches the eye."
"Basic materials such as brass, timber, vinyl and rock predominate
in the fit-out. These down-to-earth materials make patrons feel at ease, and
are also low maintenance," stated Warren. "Colour also links the
interiors – subtle color accents wash through the spaces, with reds, oranges,
and greens used extensively."
"Artworks on most walls, generous outdoor spaces, fireplaces,
café-type seating and private niche spaces all offer something different,"
he added. "Given the hotel's current patronage – from the old-timers, to
the fresh young things – the Southern Cross' iconic reputation is only likely
to gain momentum over the coming years."
