Generator Hostel | Ester Bruzkus Architekten

Bruzkus Batek Architects were invited to carry out the interior design of the public spaces and the twin bedrooms for Generator Urban Design Hotels’ new location in Berlin-Mitte. Here, continuing the idea that each hostel’s design be locally orientated, they have created a place that allows guests to immerse themselves in Berlin’s unique but contradictory character.

An exciting blend of artworks, materials and surfaces invests the common areas of the hostel with a unique style. Recycled timber panelling frames the reception area and the café, interrupted by a horizontal line of seemingly countless hooks, and complemented by bright cushions and cubes in denim, neon pink and orange.

The dark bar boasts black walls and raw copper panelling, while .PSLAB’s lighting concept creates a world of its own, while still fitting into the overall Generator concept

In the hostel’s twin bedrooms the design for the public spaces was extended further, demonstrating the use of simple materials in a playful way.
