The Playford Hotel, Adelaide

Arguably the most visible part of The Playford Hotel, the reception had recently lost its lustre. This had the effect of bringing down the public perception of the entire venue. Therefore, it was determined to prioritise the renovation of this space while driving a narrative that would underpin the redevelopment of the remainder of the hotel. The budget did not permit a complete rebuild, so the design team at Hachem instead updated several existing features while adding a number of striking additions. For instance, the existing ceiling coffer was rendered with a curved edge to deliver a contemporary take on this classic feature. Walls were wrapped and ribbed to complement the ceiling design while our Falling Leaves sculptural chandelier draws on the ornamental motifs of Art Nouveau. This combination of modern and traditional elements breathes new life into the hotel, creating an atmosphere of elegance and sophistication.
