THE PROJECT DESIGNS LIMEHOME FOR A NEW ERA OF DIGITAL & ENVIRONMENTALLY-CONSCIOUS DESIGN HOTEL APARTMENTS
Limehome aims to be a unique hoteling leader. But, in this project not only will it be a digital experience hoteling leader but also a sustainable and green leader, offering upscale living that is environmentally conscious.
The current issue with hoteling: Hoteling is an expensive industry with a lot of eyes on it, often when you arrive at a hotel, environmental consideration is not top of mind. Nowadays more than ever there is pressure from the public for environmental awareness and action. Also, hotel furniture is considered a liability, its value lowers with time. Naturally, the furniture Limehome is buying for these fully-serviced homes would need replacement or maintenance over time, thus adding to the costs to the business. Lastly, when a user arrives at to hotel very often they find themselves himself restricted by the kind of equipment and utilities offered by the hotel, such as; one bin to throw everything in, an electricity-guzzling kettle, or even the lack of a dishwasher to save water consumption in cleaning.
Overview of the circular economy business shifts proposed:
Rethinking THE SOURCE: Partnering up with environmentally conscious suppliers and furniture designers
Rethinking THE PROCESS AND LIFE: Prolonging and maintaining the life cycle of furniture to reduce its liability
Rethinking USER’S DAILY HABITS: Install recycle and environment-friendly utilities and disposables for visitors to be able to recycle easily
