－WunderLocke Hotel

A workplace, a bar, a restaurant, a hotel. Can you imagine that a hotel that was originally intended for tourists can be so multifunctional? The Wund erLocke Hotel in Munich uses "flexibility" as the central axis to develop a public space that connects the community and the individual. WunderLocke Hotel is the second time the owners have worked with London architectural firm Holloway Li, with two key designers, Alex Holloway and Na Li. The design is brought to life through the creation of a story. When you step into the hotel, the space without too many barriers immediately relaxes your mind. In line with the design concept, Wunder Locke blurs the boundaries of each area with wooden shelves, lighting, plants and other soft furnishings. From the perspective of the hotel's operation, this design adds flexibility to the activity areas, allowing the placement of spaces to change according to guests' preferences, making the entire public space more community-oriented and people-oriented. 

It is worth mentioning that all common spaces on the first floor of WunderLocke, including the work area, bar and restaurant, are open to all; meaning you don't have to be a guest staying at this hotel, as long as you arrive at WunderLocke Hotel, they will always welcome you with open hands so that people who want to work in the caf , go around for a good meal and wander in for a drink after work can experience the beauty of the space.

WunderLocke Hotel draws on local materials and characteristics, using the works of local artists and the surrounding nature as inspiration, continuing the concept of lake blue, forest, and fluidity. Therefore, we can see the blue and green accents in the rooms and the use of wood and plants in the lobby. The architectural firm has introduced the characteristics of the hotel's surroundings into the space in the most subtl e way. One of the eye-catching features of WunderLocke Hotel is the combination of different cultures, which designer Na Li can only describe as a pleasant surprise.

If you look closely, you will see that the ceiling of the lobby is decorated with a large wooden ornamentation, which is accented by a flowing curvature and looks like an oriental ceiling fan. The designer laughs and says that she didn't notice this at all when he was designing, but it was only after receiving feedback from many customers that she gradually realized that she had added elements of her own culture into the design, and with these different cultures, WunderLocke is full of surprises everywhere. Holloway Li Architects is constantly trying to bring the impact of storytelling to people. For them, architecture is not an exhibition space for designers, but a space for people to move around. Each building has its own story, and what the designers should do is to write out these stories, so that people can enjoy the building as if they were reading a book, and be amazed by the wonderful details.

一處工作空間、一隅酒吧、一家餐廳、一座飯店，你能想像原本只是 給旅客下榻的飯店竟然能有這麼多功能嗎？位於慕尼黑的WunderLocke 飯店以「彈性」為核心主軸貫穿整個空間，發展出連結社群與個人的公共 空間。 WunderLocke飯店是業主第二次與倫敦建築事務所Holloway Li合作， 由兩位主要設計師艾力克斯． 豪利威（ A l e x H o l l o w a y ） 和酈娜（ N a Li）設計而成，藉由創造故事性讓設計活出生命力。踏入飯店，沒有過 多隔閡的空間馬上讓人放鬆心神，秉持著設計理念，WunderLocke以木 架、燈具、植物等軟裝模糊各個區域的界線。以飯店營運的角度而言，此 設計更添加了活動區間的靈活度，可以跟著客人喜好去改變空間位置的擺 放，讓整個公共空間更以社群、以人本為導向。

值得一提的是，WunderLocke一樓的所有共同空間，包括工 作區域、酒吧和餐廳皆是開放給所有人使用的；意即你不必 是留宿此飯店的旅客，只要你到了WunderLocke飯店，他們 永遠會以敞開的雙手迎接你，讓想去咖啡廳工作、到處品嘗 美食以及下班晃一晃來小酌一杯的人們能共同體驗空間的美 好。 WunderLocke飯店汲取了當地的素材與特色，以當地藝術家 的作品和周遭的自然環境做為靈感，延續了湖水藍、森林、 流動性的概念。

因此在房間內我們能看到藍綠色的點綴，在 大廳也能看到木材與植物的使用，建築事務所用最淺移默化 的方式將飯店周遭的特色自然而然地引入了飯店的空間。 WunderLocke飯店其中令人眼睛為之一亮的特色便是不同 文化的結合，提及此，設計師酈娜只能說是個驚喜的意外收 穫。抬頭仔細看你會發現，大廳的天花板裝了一個木製的大 型裝飾，以流動性的弧度為重點，看起來猶如東方的吊扇。 設計師笑笑道當初設計時完全沒有注意到這點，是後來收到 很多客人的反饋才漸漸意識到設計時有把自己文化的元素加 進去，多了這些不同的文化，WunderLocke更是處處充滿驚喜。

Holloway Li建築事務所不斷想帶給人們的就是故事的衝擊 性，對他們來說，建築不是設計師的展場，而是人們活動的 空間。每一個建築都有他所承載的故事，而設計師該做的就 是將這些故事譜寫出來，讓人們在欣賞建築時猶如在閱讀書 籍，被其中精彩的細節驚艷。
