The Room 18 Pan-European Design Competition has as its subject the designing of the interior of a typical bedroom in a Greek four-star urban hotel of a total area 18 – 24 m2, whose basic characteristics are determined by the specifications of GNTO (Greek National Tourism Organisation).
Those taking part are called upon to present ways of creatively re-interpreting and transcending these specifications in a response to the likely wishes and expectations of the contemporary traveller. The aim of the competition is the creation of a pool of revitalising ideas on the architecture of hospitality.
