HOA | Coral Mesika

The current state of our culture is witness to society constantly challenging us to meet our edge.

The result is often positive growth and improvement, however, sprinting at this pace has a physical and psychological price tag.

A life where we are consumed by our day-to-day grind has a profound impact on our ability to express ourselves, be open to creative inspiration, and be fully present in our “natural habitat”.

Disconnecting from the noise that surrounds us is the only way we can pause long enough to listen to our inner voice.

Hill of the Arts is the place for this.

HOA is a luxurious retreat that gives the space and time needed for our minds to disconnect from the external, connect to our world inside, and tap into our creative potential.

The design concept seeks to elevate the existing historical architecture-- complementing its foundational design-- while not competing with it.

The Villa was built in the 18th century, a time where Baroque Architecture was flourishing through experimental forms, dramatic curves and innovative art for the time.

The conceptual idea of HOA was to base the design on these principles of innovation to enable the modern person to fully connect to-- and find inspiration from-- the historical space.

The refurbishment displays gentle curves in the interior and exterior that mimic human behavior. Striking this balance makes the historical site more accessible and relatable to the modern person.

Wellness spaces that were once a meeting point for minds to collaborate are reemerging. 

HOA is the celebration of the modern artist connecting to their internal landscape and cultural roots through design, architecture, and art.
