the general concept of a place. Such<br />
solutions attract eyes and become<br />
natural photo points: There are five<br />
different parts of the sycamore tree<br />
from the different floors of Grand Emily<br />
Hotel, such that guests can get five<br />
photo zones at the same time.<br />
YOD Group also aimed to get visual<br />
lightness and tell the story about the<br />
morning breeze that passed on the<br />
lake surface and combed the reeds.<br />
They created this experience with the<br />
structure of the wooden boards, fixed<br />
by Thermory, that they used for the wall<br />
covering of the hall. Every board is fixed<br />
into a movable groove. It is possible<br />
to change the pattern on the wall by<br />
moving the first board in the row.<br />

The designers chose natural pale<br />
colours, honest materials, and<br />
touchable surfaces. The interior reflects<br />
the local nature and surrounding<br />
landscape, which they named as the<br />
terroir design.<br />
Frank Lloyd Wright, the classic of<br />
American design at the beginning of<br />
the 20th century, established the idea<br />
of organic architecture. It proclaims<br />
that a building should be relevant to<br />
its natural context and blend in with<br />
its surroundings. The terroir design is<br />
the YOD Group’s development of this<br />
approach into interior design.<br />

Volodymyr Nepiyvoda, designer and<br />
founder of YOD Group, said: “We<br />
borrow the term from the wine industry.<br />
The terroir stands for the complex of<br />
environmental factors that affect a<br />
wine’s unique character. It would have<br />
a different character if this certain<br />
vine had grown in a different place. It<br />
is totally like that with our design. It<br />
reflects a local context and is relevant<br />
only where it was grown. Such interiors<br />
resonate with the surroundings and<br />
extend it. A person feels relaxed and<br />
natural in such a place as they are also<br />
the element of an entire structure.” WIA<br />
