Hilton Koti Curio: A Jewel in the Mist-Award-Winning Sustainable Interior Design by Linda Martins

Linda Martins' Hilton Koti Curio interior design project in Gramado, Brazil, has achieved international recognition by securing the Silver A' Design Award 2025 in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category. The project, completed in October 2024, reimagines luxury hospitality by drawing inspiration from Gramado's cold climate, misty scenery, and mountainous terrain. Martins' vision was to create a tranquil, sophisticated environment that seamlessly integrates the ethereal movement of mist with the warmth and charm of local architecture, offering guests a unique and immersive experience.

Distinguishing itself through a harmonious blend of contemporary aesthetics and regional heritage, Hilton Koti Curio employs organic forms in woodwork, lighting, and plaster to echo the fluidity of fog and the surrounding landscape. The use of sustainable materials, such as regionally sourced wood and eco-friendly fabrics made from recycled PET bottles, underscores the project's commitment to environmental responsibility. Advanced woodworking and lighting technologies, along with the involvement of local artisans, ensure both cultural authenticity and modern refinement throughout the hotel's 3,000-square-meter interior.

The design prioritizes guest comfort and interaction, with thoughtfully arranged communal and private spaces that encourage natural movement and relaxation. Adaptive lighting and eco-conscious materials enhance the ambiance, allowing the environment to transition seamlessly from day to night. Extensive research into local culture, architecture, and material sustainability informed every aspect of the project, overcoming the challenge of balancing luxury with ecological integrity. The result is a serene, elegant refuge that not only reflects Gramado's natural beauty but also sets a new benchmark for sustainable hospitality design.
