We were commissioned to design and manufacture fully bespoke door hardware for the hospitality areas of the new Park Hyatt hotel located along the River Thames. This high-profile project involved collaboration with Hafele, a renowned leader in architectural hardware, to create custom solutions that aligned with the hotel’s luxury branding and architectural vision.
The Park Hyatt hotel sought bespoke door hardware that would seamlessly integrate with its elegant design while providing exceptional functionality. The hardware needed to reflect the sophistication and modernity of the hotel’s interiors, ensuring a cohesive look throughout the hospitality areas, including guest rooms, dining areas, and common spaces.
The primary challenge was to develop door hardware that met the specific aesthetic and functional requirements of the Park Hyatt brand while adhering to high standards of quality and durability suitable for a luxury hotel. Additionally, the hardware had to accommodate the architectural nuances of the building, which included various door types and finishes.
Our collaboration with Hafele allowed us to leverage their extensive expertise in architectural hardware, ensuring that our designs were not only visually appealing but also engineered for reliability and ease of use. The process began with in-depth consultations to understand the hotel’s design vision, which included selecting materials, finishes, and styles that reflected the hotel’s identity.
After finalizing the design concepts, we moved into the prototyping phase, where advanced technology was employed to create precise models of each hardware piece. This allowed for thorough testing of functionality, ergonomics, and aesthetics before moving into full-scale production.
Once the prototypes were approved, we employed a combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern manufacturing techniques to produce the hardware. This included precision machining and hand-finishing processes to achieve the desired look and feel. The final pieces were meticulously finished to ensure they met the hotel’s luxurious standards, with options for different metal finishes, including polished brass, brushed nickel, and matte black.
The bespoke door hardware became an integral part of the Park Hyatt hotel’s hospitality areas, enhancing the overall guest experience with its combination of functionality and aesthetic appeal. The custom designs not only complemented the luxurious interiors but also provided the durability required for high-traffic areas.
The client expressed their satisfaction with the outcome, noting that the bespoke hardware contributed significantly to the hotel’s distinctive identity. The successful partnership with Hafele underscored the project’s commitment to quality and innovation, making the Park Hyatt hotel a standout destination along the River Thames.
The entire project spanned approximately six months, from initial design discussions to the final installation. Close collaboration between our team and Hafele ensured that every aspect of the door hardware met the hotel’s requirements and was delivered on schedule.
