Fauchon À L’Oriental // Fauchon Hotel
Where Parisian savoir-faire meets Oriental heritage, refinement and glamour hit differently.
As at Fauchon they “tell it differently”, so will the landscape approach. The unique, recognizable Fauchon identity will be reverberated throughout the landscape, ensuring any visitor stepping in, is up for a memorable, holistic, sensory and suave journey.
The hotel is embedded in a neo-classical architectural design/blueprint/layout. They key characteristics applied for the landscape strategy/concept are axiality, symmetry and privacy, all enveloped in bold contemporary elegance that brings a warm noble sense of hospitality.
With an imprint of Haussmannian architecture, every component shaping the outdoor space, is equally regulated both in the softscape and hardscape palette selection. Neo-classical white glossy marble tinted with granite neat patterns and artisanal finishes, enhance the aesthetic appeal of the outdoor areas. Earthy travertine and sandstone tiles complement the cream-colored Haussmannian iconic building.
Downlight effect is curated to procure warmth, privacy and an overall calm atmosphere.
The softscape palette is not a fussy one; on the contrary it exudes a majestic feel with the tall Royal Palm trees, paired with the wise old Olive trees, along with the right dash of colorful Flamboyant trees, blending with the aroma of the Citrus trees, mixed with the Madagascar Almond trees.
The main vector of recognizability: symmetry. Every component of the landscape is intentional and symmetrically aligned on either side of the main swimming pool that falls on the main axis of the garden. The swimming pool is the main attraction here and everything is built around it/the entire program is built around it.
Starting with the swimming pool itself, occupying a strategic spot facing the entrance lobby, it oozes a sense of rejuvenation and ultra comfort along with sunken loungers and exquisite sun beds lying around warmly inviting you.
A narrow water channel is extracted from the shallow port of the pool and shapes/gives life to an elevated elegant water feature right in bordering the two concealed mazes featuring private and secluded outdoor recessed sitting areas gathered around a firepit.
From the pool, an imposing floating sphere allows water to gently flow into a mirrored floating sphere sitting within the facing elevated water feature. The emanating sound
A striking detail which is impossible to miss, is the perfect noticeable alignment of another water flow, this time taking place in the rear of the main swimming pool, dropping into a refined jacuzzi.
Water takes on a crucial role in grounding the hotel to its context through a pool acts as a welcoming vector, with the water mirrors that gracefully encircle the hotel’s entrance and that are extended and echoed towards the façade at the drop-off area with an additional cascade. Water acts like a protective frame that exudes serenity, harmony and beauty into this multidimensional experience.
Circling back to axiality and perfect alignment, two separate areas with different functions are organized around the central swimming pool. On the left end lies an aquafit pool with its outdoor resting lounge, whereas the right corner is dedicated to kids where a charming mosaic tiled pool rests under an elegant pergola. Each side also hosts a bar on the left, a café in the right bearing Fauchon’s signature and iconic gastronomic experience.
Overall, Fauchon’s signature experience is a sensorial one that feeds on exclusivity and sensuality; a culturally identified luxury reserved for a very selective niche. The landscape here provides the perfect platform for relaxation.
It fosters a fluid circulation and interconnectedness amongst the featured amenities to guarantee Fauchon’s identity is vividly echoed in every outdoor corner.
As soon as you step into the hotel, the wonderment is sensed and lived in crescendo. Guests are promised a unique kind of relaxation experience that drools in refinement and curated leisure.
