Designing a BnB: welcome, amaze, narrate

If in residential the design revolves around the daily life of the inhabitant, in the world of hospitality-and particularly in BnB projects-the design has a different mission: to welcome the guest and surprise him or her from the very first glance.
A BnB is often the first contact between the traveler and the city. It must tell a story, leave a memory, generate an emotion. And all this, very often, with a defined and non-negotiable budget.

At Archventil, we have been developing hospitality and short-let projects for years, and today they are an important part of our portfolio. Small spaces, but designed with utmost attention to scenic effect, functionality and attention to detail.

One of our most successful interventions? A small jewel of 33 square meters in the heart of Turin, overlooking Piazza Savoia.

Small in size, big in vision

In this micro-apartment, we worked to create a sense of harmony and refinement, taking advantage of natural light, a neutral color palette and materials with natural textures. Everything was designed to offer the guest a memorable, warm and welcoming experience.

The project received a great deal of media and professional attention, and was selected among the Best Projects 2024 on Archilovers, an international reference platform for the world of architecture and design.

The major newspapers that covered it:

πŸ“Œ β€œA 33-square-meter studio apartment in Turin is now a B&B open to visitors in the city, with clear, natural surroundings, tastefully and lightly furnished.”
Elle Decor

πŸ“Œ β€œ33 sqm under the banner of neutral tones and natural materials for a BnB in the center of Turin.”
Archiportal

πŸ“Œ β€œA well-organized, bright and welcoming small space. A smart transformation that shows how quality design can enhance every square meter.”
Things of Home

πŸ“Œ β€œA BnB designed to impress, despite its small size. Comfort, aesthetics and distributional intelligence come together in a coherent and sophisticated environment.”
Archilovers

Designing a BnB is an exercise in synthesis

Working on a BnB means a change in perspective:

  • The layout must be flexible and attractive.
  • The furnishings, sturdy yet scenic.
  • The atmosphere, immediate and consistent with the target audience.
  • The budget, managed with creativity and strategic vision.

A good hospitality project does not just look good: it must work, surprise, and remain etched in the memory of those who experience it, even if only for a few days.
