Project • By Hazel(Tianyin) YuHotels

Thistle & Bloom

Thistle & Bloom Boutique Hotel reimagines the world of Thumbelina through a contemporary fairytale lens—one shaped by mystery, movement, and transformation. Inspired by Thumbelina’s chaotic journey across hidden gardens, towering landscapes, and unfamiliar encounters, the hotel unfolds as a sequence of immersive spatial experiences that blur the boundary between fantasy and reality. Tianyin Yu / Unreal Engine Tianyin Yu / Unreal Engine Layering organic forms, dramatic contrasts, and dreamlike atmospheres, the design evokes both fragility and resilience, inviting guests to wander through spaces that feel intimate, surreal, and ever-changing. Each room becomes a chapter within the narrative, capturing moments of cur... More

SAN

SAN was born with the intention to become a new reference point for the local scene: collecting the heritage of the historic pastry Supino, which for decades has been an iconic place for the neighborhood, SAN is a project of continuity and regeneration, where design tells the story of the past through a contemporary lens. The original red granite floor has been preserved, as well as the “S” shaped brass handles, symbolic elements that keep alive the memory of the place. The historical signs have been recovered and reinterpreted: now stripped of their original appearance, they reveal the bare neon structure, striking a balance between nostalgia and modernity.

Riohana Cocktail House

At the edges of the historic center of Morcone, Riohana opens, a small cocktail house overlooking the San Marco stream. The bar is located within an old two-story building, built on a rocky ledge at the edge of the stream and characterized by the typical features and technologies of constructions from the 1970s, purchased by two young brothers for the start of their new business.

Trisoux Bar

The craft-drinking bar Trisoux is located in the center of Glockenbach, a young vibran neighborhood in the heart of Munich. The 160m² bar occupies two levels of a residential building from 1890. On the ground floor is the central bar counter and lounge; in the basement, additional space to extend the bar and host small events. However, the space contains disjointed rooms and obstructed spaces. Therefore the ceiling was chosen as main design area to create an exceptional bar-going experience. Thus the builders’ quartet Ben Bauer, Max Braunmiller, Philipp Fröhlich, and Gustav Grossmann wishes could be fulfilled.  Crowd simulation was used to analyze optimal usage of the floor  area and generate varied atmospheres wit...

The Wellhead Cocktail Bar

The Wellhead is a relatively small cocktail bar design for Liqui, but this did not lessen the amount of consideration and attention to detail that we gave to the project. This new coffee and cocktails venue is housed in a historic listed building in the Finzels Reach area of Bristol’s vibrant city centre. Therefore it was an important part of the brief that we retained original features such as the exposed brickwork and arched windows in our interior design. It was also a tight space and the building was an awkward shape which meant that to make it function as a cocktail bar design some careful space planning was required with due consideration given to ‘flow’. This led to a bespoke angular coffee counter design which allo... More

Bardem

The Bardem cocktail bar quickly became a new place to go for friends of cultivated bar culture in the heart of Helsinki. The independent interior concept is the work of the renowned local design studio Fyra, and its modern interpretation is based on the principle of a Speakeasy Bar. Fyra plays with the combination of old and new in a stylistically confident manner and focuses on a large, central bar in the deliberately discreetly lit, atmospherically mysterious room. Ceramic tiles of the Craft series of Agrob Buchtal skilfully complement this relaxed flair and convince with an impressive visual depth as well as a lively play of colours. Riikka Kantinkoski The cocktail bar Bardem is situated in a first-class location in Helsinki. Many... More

Il Rifrullo

The project starts from the analysis and study of Rifrullo, a place with an ancient history that has never lost popularity in the Florentine panorama. Il Rifrullo has won the challenge of time because it has been able to transform itself by showing off new faces and styles over the years, but always maintaining its unmistakable vintage trait.For these reasons, the new Rifrullo envisages the design of a space that manages to combine modernity and tradition.The intervention aims to create a contemporary place that takes into account the two lives that take place within it, that of the bistro during the day and that of the cocktail bar during the evening.The materials used reflect the tradition of the city and the culture of craftsmanship of t...

Daddy Long Legs

Taking its cues from the vibrant, multicultural neighbourhood that speaks to a contemporary Australia, the multifunctional design celebrates the vibrancy of local materials and colours so often overlooked. Daddy Long Legs’ knits together the binaries of Western Australia’s unique landscape - rugged yet polished, airy but earthy, both expansive and intimate.   What are the sustainability features? The bar design featured predominantly locally made and sourced materials that was both in line with the concept and the designer’s desire to restrict unnecessary consumption. Similarly, the furniture, the bar, the dining chairs, was all custom made locally - even the decorative light fixtures were all sourced from small, i... More

W San Francisco

W San Francisco is an electric urban oasis located in the bustling heart of San Francisco’s SoMa District. Boasting 401 guest rooms including 12 suites, the hotel offers a hip and stylish downtown retreat. As part of the highly anticipated Gold Fever hotel refresh, Skylab was enlisted to design the guest rooms and major amenity spaces for a multi-phased renovation (the hotel lobby is slated for the next phase). The new Gold Fever design draws its inspiration from San Francisco’s remarkable region and rich history, abstracting elements from the past and present—including a healthy dose of funky elements from its psychedelic days—to marry history and culture with the hotel experience.

A cosy outdoor for a restaurant in the Alps

In the splendid setting of the Alps, overlooking a lake, you will find Philiaz restaurant and cocktail bar, a trendy and elegant place conceived from an innovative and unique catering idea. In fact, the name derives from Phileas Fogg, a character created by Jules Verne for his eighty-day round-the-world trip around the world, and the motivation is simple and evocative: the restaurant opens the doors of its kitchen, in alternation, to chefs from the most varied places in the world.   But at the Philiaz restaurant, gastronomic innovation rhymes with dialogue with nature. In fact, inside the cocktail bar the visitor is enveloped by tones of grey and brown, present everywhere from the seats to the walls, from the curtains to the counter... More
