The Red Ritual, Boutique Hotel Bathroom 
Germany · 2025
Design & Visualization: Aleyna Öztürk

The Red Ritual” elevates the bathroom experience beyond functionality, blending the energy of warm red tones with the calm presence of sculpted stone. The deep burgundy tiles introduce a rhythmic texture, while carved travertine surfaces create a soft contrast. Brass fixtures catch the light and disperse a subtle glow across the space, reinforcing the room’s intimate visual identity.

Together, these elements transform the bathroom into a personal ritual space—one where daily routines slow down and attention shifts to the tactile qualities of material and the gentle movement of light.
The project reinterprets the balance between serenity, texture, and refined simplicity. Light, shadow, and material interplay form the core narrative, inviting the user into a quiet yet expressive atmosphere with every touch and every moment spent within the space.




A Bold Contrast of Warm Reds and Sculpted Stone

The bathroom’s identity emerges here: deep red tiles, brass fixtures and a carved travertine block. Light plays a central role, creating subtle gradients and reflections that shape the atmosphere.




Material Sensitivity and Soft Textures

This detail captures the tactile quality of fabrics against polished travertine. The palette remains warm and muted, reinforcing the space’s boutique and intimate character.




The Ritual Begins

A soft, lived-in moment. Steam, red tiles and brushed brass frame a quiet transition between the sensory experience of water
and the serenity of the room.




A Touch of Life

A spontaneous, charming presence that softens the strict architectural lines. The cat adds warmth and a subtle narrative—this bathroom isn’t only designed, it’s inhabited.




Curated Calm

Art pieces, fragrance and low lighting shape the final tone of the space. This moment ties the bathroom’s emotional and visual story together with a peaceful finish.
