The Malcolm Hotel

In the intricately crafted masonry design, two distinct types of masonry serve as anchors for the weathered steel elements, creating a visually striking composition. The design draws inspiration from the natural warmth emanating from the orange vein present in the local rundle stone, infusing the structure with a rich and earthy palette.

The incorporation of two scales of stone, characterized by unique patterns, adds a layer of complexity and visual interest to the expansive facade of the building. This thoughtful use of varied stone sizes not only contributes to the overall texture of the structure but also serves to break up the scale along the street-facing elevation. By employing this dual-scale approach, the design successfully balances the grandeur of the building with a nuanced and approachable aesthetic, enhancing the overall architectural experience for both inhabitants and passersby.
