Space Studio
Cordis Hotel
The Cordis is a collaboration between architecture and interiors, mana whenua and industry, local and international hospitality, new and old and light and dark.
Interior Design lead David Sweatman, PDINZ, Space Studio, explains the process of a journey that started 6 years ago for Space Studio and how the establishment of a narrative will continue to inform the operation and development into the future.
Cordis opened its new 17-storey Pinnacle Tower last December, becoming New Zealand’s largest hotel by room count (over 600) including 244 new rooms and suites, executive lounge, character bar, event space and refurbishment to existing restaurants, reception, spa and a new VIP lobby.
Key for the owners was that the hotel reflected the values of the Cordis brand, which has its focus on an international luxury traveller, families, well being and regional and local context. Another challenge for the interiors and architecture was creating a balance of how the new tower interior would relate to the existing classical orientation of the hotel interiors while also elevating the hotel experience to respond more closely with the local context.
