The design brief for The Hari (formerly known as Belgraves), a high-end boutique hotel, demanded a complete refurbishment of the existing outdated hotel both internally and externally, with minimum impact to the concrete structure. The hotel layout was completely reconfigured to improve guest usage, hotel servicing and efficiency of space.
Key design changes included the replacement of the 1980s tinted brown glass extension with a clear double-height frameless glass façade that provides better light and transparency. We also designed the solid timber and bronze entrance door with a bronze-finished canopy and columns protruding through the frameless glass frontage.
