A hotel complex located on Kensington High Street, London, drawing on the British aesthetic longing for softened everyday experiences contrasted with industrial hardness. Through investigating artists’ formal softening approaches–including hard-lined curves and blurred boundaries–the hotel intends to cure urban melancholy with recreation, bathing, and landscape fusions with the site. The curing concept integrates with a theory of perceptual lag and deception, in which visitors could withdraw to retreat and enter a series of dreamy spatial experiences that challenge our perceptual consensus.
