“Design an avant-garde hotel lobby inspired by Steven Holl’s signature approach to architecture. The space should challenge traditional norms with a bold, sculptural layout that emphasizes light as a material, flowing seamlessly through dynamic geometries. The reception desk should emerge organically from the floor or wall, as if carved from a single material like polished concrete or translucent resin. Surround it with innovative seating clusters, featuring custom-designed furniture that blends function with art, using unexpected forms and materials like curved wood, colored glass, and textured fabric. Introduce a dramatic light installation or a cascading water feature that interacts with natural and artificial light, creating an ever-changing ambiance. Integrate voids, cutouts, or floating panels to play with spatial layers, making the design feel both grounded and ethereal. The color palette should combine natural tones with occasional vibrant accents, ensuring a contemporary yet timeless aesthetic. The overall design should feel like an immersive, artistic journey, evoking curiosity and wonder in every corner.”
