Thank you, Sam. I think you're right about the intercession between the generic and the particular. It is surprising that even homogenisation is something to be actively worked at - a particular design, with its own merits.

And, of course, part of the charm is being able to travel in time. From one time to another, simply by dint of occupying a given place, which adheres to a set of pre-given rules.

Thanks again.

once again both your pictures and the text precisely convey, almost conjures and propels the spaces forth. one can almost smell the spaces.

the interesting thing about this particular topic is the amazing overlap between generic and particular... to me this could be in Glasgow, near the macintosh school of art & architecture. but then again, i realised that the mauve breakfast room is a generic space: the particular british breakfast room, with all the right breakfast room paraphernalia placed inconspicuously in the right places.
so, even though i have had breakfast in many british hotels, the set up of your pictures reminds me of the illusion of the particular, in a generic world.
but this might actually be the charm of it. the generic, properly dressed, might become the perfect particular place.

best, sam
( enjoying very much your blog. thank you )
