The Sorting Room is a boutique hotel that occupies the former Post Office building in the heart of Dundee. The hotel’s interior design is a reflection of the building’s fascinating history within the UK postal system. The guest’s user journey experience is inspired by the journey of a letter and the hidden operations within the postal service.
Through thoughtful spatial structures, the design aims to reignite social interactions among guests, inspired by the diminished social interaction over time within the postal service. Abstract ‘pigeonhole’ structures provide guests with the opportunity to observe and visually connect with one another from different spaces. The design pays homage to the sentimentality and romanticism of traditional letter writing, incorporating textures and interior structures that evoke the tactile experience of letter writing.
