Research: Citizen M


Over the past few weeks I have been gathering research into all sorts of 'collaborative spaces'.
I found an organisation known as 'Citizen M' that is a hotel driven by one desire!  It's desire is to create affordable luxury for the people. By "the people," they mean a smart new breed of international traveler, the type who crosses continents the way others cross streets. This includes the weekenders, the suits, fashion baggers and affair havers. The explorers, adventurers and dreamers. Those who travel the world with big hearts and wide eyes. Those who are independent, yet united by a love of the five continents. Those in search of business, shopping or art. In short, everyone who is a mobile citizen of the world. Most likely, that also means you.
Here are a few images from the Citizen M base in Glasgow:


I love the interior within the hotel as I feel that it would successfully evoke creativity in the user.  This is one of the more important factors within a collaborative space as it's essential to have space where design can transform.
Not only is the organisation based in Glasgow, there are also plans to open a hotel in Paris.
 The whole concept is really interesting! -perhaps i'll stay there one day!
