Guest houses can be found in nearly every corner of the world as
urban and rural dwellers open their homes, or build new ones, to
host visitors. These guest houses take a multitude of forms,
styles, and even names - B&B in Britain, pension in France,
minshuku in Japan, as well as being referred to as apartment
hotels, boutique hotels, or hostels in some cases - but their
primary goal is to satisfy the accommodation requirements and
desired experience of the guests. In contrast to the ordinary
hotel, guest houses combine unique and attractive features with
thematic concepts that are intended to appeal to a visitor's
individuality. Hosts provide guests with more than just
accommodation options; they seek to generate an environment that
offers a cultural experience by means of personalised interaction
and service. On a conceptual level, the guest house addresses
architecture and interior design as critical methods of
contributing to an alternative or ideal lifestyle. Escape:
Designing the Modern Guest House showcases 43 distinctive projects
from around the world. These exclusive works have visual and
spatial impact, representing the essence of new guest house design.
This book highlights some of the most outstanding architectural
strategies of recent years, displaying variations on spatial
experience through the interplay of design elements. It provides
strong reference material for design professionals and students in
architecture, interior design, and related fields, as well as those
looking to revamp their guest house accommodation with a
contemporary 21st-century focus. Features guest houses in Italy,
Taiwan, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand, USA, Chile, China, Portugal,
South Korea, Spain, France, and Greece.
