Function is the most basic and primitive level in lobby design. The purpose of lobby design is to facilitate the development of various services to customers and meet practical functions, but at the same time, it is necessary to let guests get psychological satisfaction and then get spiritual pleasure.

Usually, when designing a lobby, the functional contents that should be considered include:

(1) spatial relationship layout of the lobby;

(2) the scale of the lobby environment;

(3) Furniture, furnishings and equipment arrangement of service places (such as reception desk, luggage room, lobby bar, etc.). ) in the lobby;

(4) lobby lighting;

(5) lobby lighting;

(6) lobby greening;

(7) Ventilation, communication and fire fighting in the lobby;

(8) lobby color;

(9) lobby safety;

(10) lobby material effect (pay attention to environmental factors);

(1 1) The overall atmosphere of the lobby, etc.

In addition to the above related contents, attention should also be paid to dust prevention, shock prevention, sound absorption, sound insulation and temperature and humidity control in the design of the lobby space. Therefore, when designing the lobby, priority should be given to meeting its various functional requirements.

(2) Make full use of space

As far as its function is concerned, the space of the hotel lobby can not only be used as the workplace of the main agencies in the hotel lobby (such as concierge, luggage, reception, inquiry, front desk cashier, business center, etc.). ), it can also be used as a lobby, catering, meeting and atrium. These places with different functions often provide good objective conditions for the full use of lobby space and the creation of its atmosphere. So when designing the lobby, we should make full use of the space. The Pan-Pacific Hotel in Singapore designed by Portman makes full use of the space provided by the building, and its courtyard is carefully designed in decoration and furnishings, interspersed layer by layer. That string of red tulle lanterns seems to fall from the sky, and the abstract shape of dark red fabric spirals up, forming a magnificent three-dimensional picture scroll, which is amazing.
