TUVE酒店位于香港熙來攘往的天后商住區，當旅客在混凝土建筑群和霓虹燈星羅棋布的街道上找到這處投宿地，相信會涌現柳暗花明的感覺。由顏色、光線、云石、混凝土、甚至是明喉建構的不同層次和室內的空間感，以至酒店簡潔的外墻，充滿戲劇性的電梯大堂，和獨一無二的建筑物料配搭，都受丹麥建筑和風景攝影師Kim H?ltermand 的瑞典湖泊TUVE作品集所啟發。在入口通道中，光影的配合就和攝影美學不言而喻，而大堂物料的對比也令人耳目一新。接待處銅制的光滑桌面也配合較溫和的氧化金屬表面，住客和酒店服務人員的距離也有所拉近。酒店的設計也一貫運用對比。酒店內短暫停留的空間相對長時間逗留的空間，表達更豐富的情感和點綴。客房里面則運用線網玻璃分隔浴室，增加亮度和空間感。小食、書枱和椅子則收藏在一個簡約的大盒子里，而混凝土墻身的縫隙則藏有金箔裝飾。住客只要用心發掘這個酒店的設計，就能感受其取材于當代視覺藝術的建筑的風格。

Hong Kong’s TUVE hotel rewards travelers with a world of tranquility and subtle contrasts created by flecked marble, textured concrete, and exposed plumbing that is enhanced by mood lighting in the bustling mixed residential and commercialneighbourhood of Tin Hau. Upon arrival, the hotel’s understated facade, dramatic entryway, and unique combination of building materials drew from the Lake Tuve photoset by Danish architectural and landscape photographer Kim H?ltermand in order to distinguish the premises from the surrounding concrete jungle filled with neon signs. In a nod to the photographic aesthetic, both natural and arti fi cial lighting are used to shine and cast shadows on the nuanced seems and contours of the precast glass-reinforced concrete the entrance corridor. Subtle contrasts are also evident in the lobby, where the brass countertop of the main reception desk shines like a polished mirror but also invites friendly exchanges between guests and hotelstaff over warmer oxidised surfaces. Throughout the hotel, dramatic effects are created to arouse more intense feelings in areas for transient occupancy,while calmness and peace are achieved with minimaldecorative details in areas for longer stay. In the actual guestrooms, semi-transparent wired glass partitions effectively veil the bathroom yet maximise illumination and spaciousness. Each room also contains a minimalist box, which patrons unfold into a desk and cabinet housing gourmet snacks and various accessories as they discover the hidden beauty of gold fl akes inlaid in the crevices of the concrete walls.Indeed, the entire hotel experience is a kind of hidden beauty to be discovered and appreciated with heart and mind.
