EBB Dunedin NZ by Indyk Architects is a boutique hotel interior project shaped by art, luxury, local context and detailed material choices.

The project is useful because it shows how hospitality interiors can hold together guest comfort, city identity, art and bespoke detailing without becoming generic luxury.

Project images

Project diagrams help explain the relationship between architecture, interiors and hotel experience.

The hotel interiors respond to Dunedin’s site, city and heritage context.

Art is treated as part of the hotel experience, not as decoration added at the end.

What the project brief asked for

CL Hotels selected Gary Todd Architecture to create a designer hotel in Dunedin, with Indyk Architects designing the interiors. The brief called for a modern experience that was clearly articulated, context-aware and rich in detail.

Public and private spaces combine art, luxury and innovation. The hotel cafe bar serves guests and the Dunedin community, while guestrooms offer flexibility and different levels of luxury.

Why the interior strategy works

  • The light-filled atrium gives the hotel a clear public heart.
  • Mezzanine art walkways make movement part of the guest experience.
  • Materials refer to Dunedin’s heritage, including basalt, Oamaru stone and verdigris roofscapes.
  • Bespoke joinery, rugs, carpets, bathrooms and furniture give the interior a strong identity.

Project details

  • Completion: 2021.
  • Building levels: four.
  • Interior fitout: Indyk Architects.
  • Lighting designer: POINT OF VIEW.
  • Photographer: Jeremy Hooper.

Architecture Social view

Stephen’s recruiter view is that hospitality interiors are strong portfolio evidence when they show judgement at multiple scales: concept, guest journey, detail, procurement and atmosphere.
