    From Industry to Hotel

    Polythecnic University of Milan, Urban Centre, Monza


    The 2006/2007 Interior Design Lab was focused on the development of innovative design concepts for a tourist accommodation structure to be placed in the former industrial complex of Cotonificio Cederna located in Monza, which was rethought as a service-system project for new advanced hospitality facilities for the several local manufacturer companies in Brianza. 

    Our Interior Design Courses have been dealing with hospitality for several years aiming to generate new hotel concepts that foresee the dynamics of tourism so to design hospitality spaces in line with the market trends and cultural values ​​of contemporary society.
