XO Cape Arnna is a unique sensory journey, meticulously crafted under the philosophy of Orchestrated Design. Rooted in the idea that architecture, like music, can compose a spatial symphony, the project transforms light, sound, texture, scent, and taste from isolated elements into instruments of a harmonious score.
By drawing inspiration from the region’s historical and natural richness, the design reinterprets hospitality through an innovative, contextually grounded yet contemporary lens. The lobby, the first stop of this journey, invites visitors into a rhythmic experience through sculptural tree forms and light that dances across reflective surfaces. This staging –born from the interplay of lighting design, art, and comfort– elevates the entrance beyond a mere reception area, offering hints of what lies ahead and setting the tempo for the experience unfolding throughout the hotel.
At the core of the spatial composition lies the “market axis,” the project’s main melodic line. This axis, a central pathway that connects the various sensory destinations, is designed to guide visitors through a journey of cultural and gastronomic experiences. It places gastronomy at the center of the orchestration, with each culinary destination presenting its cultural identity as a multisensory stage.
Material selections, spatial transitions, and atmospheric layers are carefully composed to engage both body and emotion. From interiors where art, design, and function converge to terraces echoing the rhythm of nature, every space unfolds as a layered choreography. At XO Cape Arnna, architecture speaks through the senses, orchestrating a contemporary stage for hospitality, where guests are not just visitors, but active participants in the design choreography.
