The current corona crisis has created a new reality. Spaces, interiors and processes need to be revised to ensure the safety of guests and staff. In addition, hoteliers must look for additional income, both in the short and the long term. APTO architects and H-Hospitality have collected their ideas and tips for a 'hotel reboot'.

Speakers:
Romana Stanco, Interior Design Concept Developer, APTO Architects B.V.
Michiel Gomes, Senior Concept Development and Investment Consultant, H-Hospitality

I have been working as a concept developer for APTO architects for almost two years now. My background in human geography and urban planning has taught me to understand people and places from different perspectives. Add creativity and a love for interior design to that equation and in short there is the story to how I ended up working as a concept developer in architecture. By putting myself in the shoes of the user of a space and the hospitality brand, I imagine what the experience of a space should be like. By translating this concept to a spatial design by defining the atmosphere and services and functions a space should have, the story of the space unfolds.
