RÍO ROJO

INTERIOR DESIGN CAPSTONE

BY GRACE PECHA

A MOUNTAIN RETREAT

CONCEPT STATEMENT

Through the use of local materials and landscape inspiration, Río Rojo creates a connection between the interior space and exterior surroundings. The space consists of a variety of areas designed to bring people together and promote socialization and relaxation in a tranquil setting. Río Rojo provides a luxurious hotel experience that has the intimacy of home, but the security, amenities, and convenience of a hotel. A home away from home.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

A boutique hotel in the Steamboat Springs Ski Resort in Colorado. The space consists of a main lobby, a restaurant, a spa, a lounge, and seven luxury rooms that are complete with a balcony overlooking the surrounding mountains. This hotel is intended for adults looking to have a high-end ski vacation right on the mountain with breathtaking views. With the wide gap in accommodation options in this resort (large hotels and rental condos) there is a need for a more intimate hotel option that offers privacy, yet the opportunity to meet people and socialize if desired.

FLOOR PLANS

Both the first and second floor plans are organized around the center of each space. On level one the center piece is the large central staircase and on the second floor the central focal point is the cutout in the floor that overlooks the staircase and either the lobby or lounge depending on where you stand. Both levels have lots of windows to maximize natural light as well as the amazing views from every direction.

THE LOBBY & WAITING AREA

Upon entrance into the hotel, you are greeted by a central reception desk and a large, dramatic staircase that leads to the suites. The waiting room is off to the left and offers a comfortable place to wait before checking in. Off to the right are custom built-in cabinets for guests to place outdoor gear such as skis and snowboards.
