We researched materials which is extraordinary and less common can be interactively used in our hotel process. From the questions about space, we discussed the relationship between materials and space and how it influences over each other. The researched materials below weighs influence on space and its surrounding via different ways. Some plays with translucency and the others interact by the opaque and thickness of its material. This different approach to space is what intrigues people and allows them to experience emotionally and physically.

'In the existing building we propose the rehabilitation without formal changes. Simply recovering all the old constructive techniques and turning them white with different grades of shine with the intention of generating tension between what the users remember about the building and what it is now, we search for surprise perceptions and the generation of a new surface. Instead the new hall is a blind box, a strange element because of its shape and dimensions. To emphasieze this sensation we propose a cladding that vibrates and shines with pearly-iridescent material'.

'The selection of materials for structure and internal finishes has been crucial in the development of the design. The rawness of the bare shell is intended as the final finish for every habitable space in the project without any extra add-ons. Hence it was imporant to ensure that every finish was achieved as desired.
The building shell/roof with concrete slab soffit forms the ceiling; as there was no false ceiling, gypsum or other boards were not required, thus reducing building cost. For the roof, RCC flat slabs, waterproofed in brick bat coba withcement screed as top coat forming thread cut panels, were inclined taking into consideration the rainwater downtake pipes. The top surface has an additional white thermoplastic coating to reflect the heat, which helps to maintain ambient temperature of the floor below.
The in-situ grey cement floor is polished in coconut oil and made from locally available basic building materials like cement and aggregate; some aggregate were acuired by crushing weathered rock found during excavation. For the stilt floor, grey granite is used; black granite is used in the bathrooms. The stones were procured in a way to prevent wastage and every piece is reused within the floor or as dado. The raw materials used for florring were locally and regionally sourced-this leads to reduced environmental impact associated with raw material extraction, manufacture and transportation.'
