Architecture of Belonging
The suite flows like a private flat, blending a styling area with a lounge and minibar. During exclusive events, it becomes a space for shared preparation—whether for a shoot, a celebration, or a moment of pause. On top of attentive staff, an Elever mirror by Seymourpowell—using facial recognition and 3D spray technology to replicate makeup looks—quietly supports these rituals of self- expression. The large-scale fresco was created from an original photoshoot organized for Shades, featuring individuals from diverse backgrounds. Digitally reworked into a Renaissance- inspired composition, it celebrates the architecture of the building, echoing its classical proportions and cornicing details. POC subjects take central place, reimagining historical portraiture through a lens of visibility, heritage, and care. Here, luxury is quiet, personal, and rooted in cultural reclamation.
