Kelly Wearstler︱聖莫尼卡Proper豪華精品酒店-設計風向

設計世界酷女孩Kelly Wearstler設計了Santa Monica Proper，這是一家尋求仿效加州酷的精品酒店。這家位於西海岸的酒店集團是Viceroy Hotel Group創始人Brian De Lowe、Alex Samek和Brad Korzen家族中最新成立的正規酒店家族。

Design world cool-girl Kelly Wearstler is appropriately behind Santa Monica Proper, a boutique hotel seeking to emulate California cool. This West Coast outpost is the latest in the Proper Hotels family, from Viceroy Hotel Group founders Brian De Lowe, Alex Samek, and Wearstler’s husband Brad Korzen.

Proper品牌體現了一種“更寬鬆”的奢侈，以一種既能吸引假日遊客，又能吸引長期住客的方式，融入當地和周邊文化。

The Proper brand embodies a ‘looser’ kind of luxury, tapping into the local and surrounding culture in a way that appeals to long-term stays and staycationers just as much as holiday visitors.

酒店前身是Santa Monica Professional大樓，由Arthur E. Harvey於1928年以西班牙複興風格設計，最初用於醫療套房。Howard Laks建築事務所建造了一個與曆史建築相協調的新結構，包含了271個房間的酒店。

This latest West Coast branch started with the Santa Monica Professional building, designed by Arthur E. Harvey in 1928 in the Spanish Mission Revival style and originally used for medical suites. Howard Laks Architects built a new structure in harmony with the historic building, together which house the 271-room hotel.

Wearstler從整個酒店的經典聖莫尼卡曆史（包括視覺和文化）中脫穎而出。引人注目的物體點綴在公共空間，這是與L.A工匠定製合作原創藝術品和單片裝置的結果，包括Ben Medansky，Morgan Peck，Tanya Aguiniga，Len Klikunas和Bradley Duncan。

Wearstler took lead from classic Santa Monica history, both visual and cultural, throughout the hotel. Striking objects dot the public spaces, a result of custom collaborations with L.A artisans for original artworks and monolithic installations, including Ben Medansky, Morgan Peck, Tanya Aguiniga, Len Klikunas, and Bradley Duncan. An assemblage of both new and vintage pieces add to the layered aesthetic and sense of the unexpected.

由新興設計師克裏斯·沃爾斯頓（Chris Wolston）設計的功能性赤土陶器和玻璃纖維椅子花瓶在接待處占據了重要位置，展示了一係列不斷變化的異國情調花卉。Wearstler的獨特材料和紋理的標誌性風格被限製在中性色調內，包括瓷磚結構的柱子，抽象的，不規則的鑲木地板，以及木材或石灰華的過渡全高拱門。

A functional terracotta and fibreglass chair-vase by emerging designer Chris Wolston takes pride of place in reception, displaying a regularly changing bouquet of exotic flowers. Wearstler’s signature flair for eclectic materials and textures are restrained within a neutral palette, including tile-clad structural columns, abstract, irregular parquetry, and transitional full-height archways of timber or travertine.

私人空間與聖莫尼卡標誌性的沿海生活方式相關，具有多種有機色調和紋理混合。 271間客房分為兩個獨立的翼樓，一個是現代的，另一個是複古的，位於原始的西班牙建築內。在複古的翼樓中，Wearstler通過花卉壁紙，裝飾燈和桃色裙邊來展現複古風格。當代的側翼更現代一些，有些是裸露的混凝土牆，架上安裝著平板屏風和中世紀雕塑風格的家具。

Private spaces relate to Santa Monica’s iconic coastal lifestyle, featuring a multifaceted mix of organic tones and textures. 271 rooms are split across two separate wings, one contemporary and the other more retro, set within the original Spanish Mission building. In the retro wing, Wearstler plays up the throwback aspect with floral wallpaper, deco lights and peach skirting. The contemporary wing is more, well, contemporary, some with exposed concrete walls, easel-mounted flatscreens and sculptural mid-century furniture.

酒店坐落在一個創意中心，距離高檔精品店，咖啡館，農貿市場和海灘僅幾步之遙，是鄰裏生活方式的整體延伸。設施包括Ayurvedic水療中心，瑜伽和寬敞的屋頂遊泳池。即將開業的是Proper的招牌餐廳Onda，這是當地備受尊敬的廚師Jessica Koslow和Gabriela Camara之間備受期待的合作。

Situated in a creative hub steps from upmarket boutiques, wellness cafes, farmers markets and the beach, the hotel is a holistic extension of the neighbourhood lifestyle. Amenities include an Ayurvedic spa, yoga, and an expansive rooftop pool. Opening soon is Proper’s signature restaurant, Onda, a highly anticipated collaboration between locally revered chefs Jessica Koslow and Gabriela Camara.
