The architect designed a shelter that is inspired by the desire to create a space that comes with a creative sense of hospitality and relaxation. Starck manages to take into account all of these factors and the result is the creation of a space that is vibrantly energetic, while still retaining elements of a sanctuary for its guests and visitors. The shelter is located in the heart of Bordeaux and it is fitted with a restaurant, a cocktail bar, a pizzeria, a wine bar and [97 guest rooms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mylos-hotel). The Bordeaux shelter takes on a [speakeasy type atmosphere](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soparis), where the entrance of the shelter is completely discrete and not easily discernible. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.3/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 84% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Creative Hospitality Spaces:** Starck's MAMA Shelter series showcases the trend of creating vibrant and energetic spaces that provide a sense of relaxation and hospitality. - **Speakeasy-inspired Design:** The discreet entrance and immersive atmosphere of the Bordeaux shelter highlights the trend of incorporating speakeasy-inspired elements into architectural design. - **Multifunctional Shelters:** The MAMA Shelter in Bordeaux exemplifies the trend of designing shelters that combine various amenities such as restaurants, bars, and guest rooms in one space. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality:** The creative design and immersive atmosphere of Starck's shelters present disruptive innovation opportunities for the hospitality industry. - **Architecture:** The speakeasy-inspired design of the Bordeaux shelter opens up possibilities for architects to incorporate hidden entrances and unique atmospheres into their projects. - **Interior Design:** The vibrant and multifunctional design of the MAMA Shelter series provides opportunities for interior designers to create energetic and welcoming spaces in various establishments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Playful French Homewares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mama-shelter-1.md) - [Surrealist Story-Backed Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-heler.md) - [Reflective Mountain-Based Shelters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shelter-santerpass.md) - [Star-Shaped Structural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-archipelagic-void.md) - [Off-Grid Mountain Shelter Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/genius-show.md) - [Mountainside-Inspired Bespoke Hotels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouchardon-hotel.md) - [Obscure Olive Oil Mill-Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-almaraza.md) - [Earthy Warm Ambiant Restaurants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muse-1.md) - [Humanized Waiting Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/de-wachtkamer.md)
