Additionally, The Collectors Room, which greets guests at the entrance of the guesthouse, has a neutral palette of hand-rendered walls, timber paneling, and linen cabinetry that display curated objects and artworks. A communal oak table serves as a counter where guests can interact.

This room also connects to an outdoor terrace through sliding glazed doors. Built-in bench seating and an olive tree-sit at the center of the terrace inviting guests to relax and socialize

A gridded timber screen leads further into the space through to the lift lobby and the Arcade room, where guests can gather to relax and play.

Soft-rendered walls, timber shutters, and an eclectic mix of furniture create a sense of intimacy, while floor tiles in various geometrical motifs add a sense of playfulness.

Moreover, Adjacent to the Arcade is the Music Room, the social hub of the guesthouse. Here, ceramic tiles, a bespoke oak shelving system, a custom sofa, and curated art and lifestyle objects were added to evoke a sense of a residential living room.

The Music Room opens up to the Garden Terrace, where undulating greenery sits behind circular seating in yellow-striped fabric, a colorful contrast to the overall neutral color palette of the Ying’nFlo guesthouse.

“The spaces are designed to have a warm, welcoming, and familiar feel,” Linehouse said.

“Against this backdrop of curated simplicity is an edge of youthful attitude and local context. With vibrant elements giving the hotel its unique flavor.”

Furthermore, The guest rooms of the Ying’nFlo guesthouse are located on the upper floor and feature ceilings painted in a muted green hue, which is the same green tone used to frame window seating nooks and for the hand-glazed tiles in the bathroom and kitchen.

A clean palette of plaster, wood, white-washed oak, and canvas adds texture to the rooms. Also, Seating nooks and lounge furniture serve multiple functions as spaces where guests can work, relax or dine.
