BRIEF

The project involves the creation of a hotel apartment that exudes modernity and elegance, offering a range of essential amenities, well-appointed rooms, and a captivating lobby.

HIGHLIGHTS

The Raw Residence Hotel stands as a testament to Mugo's ability to deliver a remarkable experience for the expat and international community. The project showcases a harmonious blend of modernity and elegance, perfectly suited to its downtown location in Addis.

CHALLENGE

Mugo faced the challenge of working with an existing building structure, as the client had acquired the property after its construction. This presented a unique hurdle of incorporating the requested functions seamlessly without compromising the desired look, ambiance, and overall guest experience.

STRATEGY

To overcome this challenge, Mugo devised a strategic design process that leveraged the existing structure as an asset. The aim was to create a smooth and functional flow throughout the space while making clever use of the beams and columns to integrate them into the interior design discreetly, ensuring they remain hidden from view.
