FAR KARA HOTEL
LOCATED IN VLADIVOSTOK, RUSSIA
A fusion of two cultures into one, Vladivostok embodies the likeness of different people. What brought them together is what tore them apart, and remains a part of their history.
A port of goods and services, the country became a hub for trade. With this came the vices. The Opium War of 1860 became the event that brought the Chinese and Russians together, and eventually led to the dominance of Russia. Close in proximity, the Chinese continue to have a great influence over the local food, scene, and culture of the area.
The Hotel is an image of a world that ceased to exist, one of which the Chinese were still in control of the area Vladivostok sits on. Of the most Far East region of Europe, and on the Kara Sea, Far Kara sits across the water from Vladivostok on Russky Island. Through the interior architecture, furniture and fabric selections, textures, and colors, the hotel is a fusion of cultures and tastes.
