Stay With Me Called Prizeotel, the hotel - built in Bremen, Germany - is an exercise in minimalist design, with Rashid's signature style evident throughout. What sets Prizeotel apart from other designer hotels, however, is that its room rates are surprisingly reasonable - in fact, they're damn cheap. Rashid says of the project; "Design is not for the elite or rich. I have always wanted to design a very inexpensive hotel and Prizeotel brought the opportunity. The concept had to be very smart and economical yet pleasureable and inspiring. I maximised choices and used high-performance materials and furnishings to have the greatest impact for the least amount of investment. Prizeotel creates a unique experience and is groundbreaking on the budget hotel market. Today especially, design must prove its worth and address the inhuman built environment to give us elevated, more pleasurable, more qualitative, aesthetic humanised conditions. Design is not superfluous but a human necessity and desire. Design must evolve us and create a beautification and betterment for society." While we don't know what he's going on about half the time, one thing is for sure; Rashid knows how to create jaw-droppingly beautiful spaces. www.dezona.com / Images: Prizeotel
