A wide and cozy corridor that guest able to mingle among themselves and enjoy, multi purpose enclosed interactive provide locals a place to do their interest (music, literature, visual art, etc) to have fun, and if you are too shy local or guest to connect, freedom wall will help you to be heard and be able to experience meeting strangers. Architectural strategy like connecting different spaces with different activities can at least guaranty immersive activities. A wide screen monitors acts like the eye and ears of the hotel, where snap shots or shout outs of what is going on inside and outside the hotel, as a technology strategy. These are one of the main programs that the hotel could let a crowd gather. Combination of new and old way programs to bring an urban social hotel.
Note: public spaces on the hotel can either be used by locals or guest with its possible for any kind of immersive activity.
