Rockwell Group 是一家位于纽约的跨学科建筑和设计公司，近期完成了拉斯维加斯新维珍酒店的室内设计。项目原身是硬石酒店，设计师重新设计了空间的概念，使其焕然一新。Rockwell Group 的任务是设计围绕主赌场的“维珍空间”，包括一个新的汽车入口和名为 The Junction 的入口体验空间，游客入住办理区，the Commons 俱乐部和餐厅，以及一间 Shag Room。Rockwell Group 还在主赌场内额外设计了两间酒吧，并使大堂空间贯穿整座酒店。

Leading New York based interdisciplinary architecture and design firm Rockwell Group has unveiled their design of the interiors of the new Virgin Hotel in Las Vegas, a re-conceptualized and revitalized property in the former Hard Rock Hotel. Rockwell Group was appointed to design the ‘Virgin Spaces’ that surround the main casino, including a new porte cochère and entry experience – The Junction – as well as a check-in area for guests, the Commons Club and the Commons Club Restaurant and the Shag Room. Rockwell Group also designed two additional bars within the main casino and transformed the lobbies throughout the hotel.

拉斯维加斯维珍酒店距离标志性的拉斯维加斯大道有数英里距离。为了突显这片分离的区域，Rockwell Group 计划创造一个奢华的目的地，并以纯粹而富有雕塑感的形式融入周边的沙漠地形之中。酒店中的公共空间参考沙漠现代主义风格，设置大量玻璃幕墙和室外露台，尽可能模糊室内外界限。

Virgin Hotel Las Vegas is situated a few miles away from the iconic Strip, and Rockwell Group chose to accentuate this separation by creating a luxury destination that taps into the wider context of the desert landscape with pure forms and sculptural moments. The public spaces within the hotel reference desert modernism and, wherever possible, blur the lines between indoors and out, with glazing and an outdoor terrace.

Rockwell Group 希望将游客带入一场位于沙漠高速上的冒险，途中散步这自然奇观。这一想法清晰地表达了对拉斯维加斯及其周边沙漠景观的尊重。项目使用中性的自然材料，包括石板地面和带有“维珍红”的夯土墙面，玛瑙石以及绿植。设计最终呈现了一系列包容的休息和就餐空间，邀请顾客徘徊、探索。

Rockwell Group envisioned taking guests on an adventure along a desert highway, spotted with natural wonders and follies – a clear homage to the city of Las Vegas and its surrounding desert landscape. The neutral, natural material palette includes flagstone flooring and rammed earth walls with pops of Virgin’s signature red, agate stones, and greenery. The result is an inclusive series of lounge and dining spaces that invite guests to linger and explore.

新的入口以纪念性的夯土墙面、沙丘般的仙人掌花园以及一面几何感强烈的煤渣墙体将游客迎入空间。汽车入口处最富戏剧性的构件是一片表面覆盖金色反射金属板的棱角分明的华盖。大门的边框镶嵌红色瓷砖，代表维珍的品牌特征，并与周围中性的夯土墙形成对比。

A new entrance welcomes guests with monumental, rammed earth walls, a cactus garden planted in a dune-like setting, and a striking geometric breezeblock wall. The dramatic centerpiece of the porte-cochère is an angular canopy clad in reflective gold metal, while red tiles frame the entry portal, signifying the Virgin brand and contrasting with the neutral rammed earth that surrounds it.
