One of the primary issues faced by ASD individuals is the sensory overload imposed by built environmental stimuli such as harsh lighting, loud acoustics, and hard textures.
Being unable to relax or feel comfortable can be stressful in any environment, but even more so in an unfamiliar environment such as a hotel.
Autism Hotel proposes to integrate the main design principles identified in residential and healthcare facilities for Autism, into hotel infrastructures. By simply integrating soft edges, acoustic materials, subdued colour pallets, and biophilic design principles, the frightening experience can be turned to a calming, friendly, and safe environment for children and their families.
