Office-to-hotel conversion
An office-to-hotel fit-out for 118 keys, with room widths set by the window grid.
A capability showcase: what we can deliver for a hotel like this. It is not a completed project, and the figures are design targets, not results.
Typical brief
Give an empty 1970s office building a second life as a hotel.
Building and local style
1970s concrete office block with ribbon windows and exposed concrete ceilings.
Typical plot and building constraints
Deep floor plates, a 7.2 m column grid, raised floors to remove and services to reroute.

Suggested working model
Your plan, our design and supply
Planned timeline by phase
Planned weeks per phase. Phases overlap in practice; we set the real plan per project.
Planned split across our own factories
- Kayseri Casegoods and fixed joinery
- İzmir Upholstery frames and loose seating
- Kocaeli Metal works and frames
- Sakarya Veneer, doors and wall panelling
Share of the factory-made scope by site. The rest comes through Turkish suppliers we know well: fabrics, stone and solid-surface tops, glass and mirrors, and lighting.
Typical challenges and our answers
Challenge
The column grid matches no room width.
Our answer
Room width set to the window grid, with wardrobes and bathrooms in the deep inner part.
Challenge
Ribbon windows give no natural place for a wall.
Our answer
Partition walls on every second mullion, with a sealed joint detail made in our own factory.
Design targets
| Metric | Target range |
|---|---|
| Average daily rate (ADR) | +8% – +14% |
| Occupancy | +4 – +8 points |
| Revenue per available room (RevPAR) | +12% – +22% |
vs. today or the local market
Target ranges we design towards, for planning only. They are not results and not promises; your revenue team sets the real numbers.
Expected effect
Long-stay studios at the corners can lift the average length of stay.
Design principles
- Let the window grid decide the room width.
- Corners make the best studios.
Material palette
Four expert views on the concept
Each note is written from the point of view of someone with thirty years in that role.
A conversion can beat a new build on time, if the grid is understood early.
An old office canteen makes a good breakfast room.
Long corridors need light and colour so they do not feel like offices.
Keep the exposed concrete ceilings and hang acoustic rafts below them.
