Hotel Sol Boutique, art in the bathrooms
AtelierMara Group's Hotel Sol Boutique opens its doors in a former mansion built by Emilio de la Torriente in 1898 on Calle del Sol in Santander. After a rehabilitation in which additions that distorted the original facades and a distribution of the interiors were eliminated, rooms with bathrooms in which pieces created by the artists of Bathco Atelier have been installed.
If we go into the bathrooms of the rooms of the Hotel Sol Boutique we will see unique, well cared for, original spaces... and this is thanks to the interior design project by Cintia Diaz. Each of the pieces was chosen by the designer in a thoughtful way to create meaningful environments and in this process was essential advice Andrés Navedo, responsible for exhibitions at Lostal, one of the official distributors of Bathco in Cantabria. In the bathrooms of the rooms you can see different sinks from the catalog of the company specializing in the bathroom sector as well as pieces made ad hoc by the artists of Bathco Atelier.
Room 306 Anastasia holds one of the murals created by Bathco Atelier artists based on the illustration “Anastasia” by Sofia Bonati and the main tones were chosen to create the porcelain washbasin covered in tile microcement also created in the company's workshop. Cintia Díaz comments that «As for the Anastasia mural, I had already seen this image which is by an Argentinian illustrator who I really like all her illustrations. I got in touch with her to do this work, we paid the rights to be able to reproduce it and from there the Atelier was doing tests. This was pretty straightforward.»
For one of the Premium rooms they chose wallpaper and wanted to give it continuity in the bathroom but they wanted the material to be water resistant. So they turned to the artists at Bathco Atelier, who reproduced the design on ceramic decals and applied them manually to tiles. These cover in the form of mural the main wall of this en-suite bathroom.
The designer explains that «That whole room, just like the bathroom, came from the paper. I fell in love with that paper and from that paper everything else in the room was created. It was around that paper. So I don't remember very well, if the idea was given to me by Andrés Navedo de Lostal. I worked closely with him and we worked very well. He said to me, "Why don't you repeat?.
He told me about the Atelier and said: you can create this same tile. And he said: well, it would be really nice, it would be a completely different bathroom and it turned out very well. The truth is that I am very happy with that bathroom. I like that bathroom very much and everybody likes it very much, it makes quite an impact on them».
The model Dinan is decorated with ceramic decals thanks to the expert hands of the Cantabrian company's craftswomen. In this case, the designer wanted the medallion of Hermes (Mercury) to be represented. To do this, a design was made in digital format, printed on ceramic decals and decorated by matching the drawing of the basin with that of the valve. In this way the visitor will appreciate the complete drawing during the toilet.
For the bathroom in room 211 Peony bouquet, the designer wanted the sink to have a similar look to the mosaic tiles of Hisbalit that were placed on one of the walls. To achieve it, the artists made different tests until they found the exact color and obtained a Lysa washbasin in pinkish tones. Here you can also see the set of brackets with white countertop. You can also see this sink in room 101 Bohéme.
