The Rehabilitation Hotel for Technology is a speculative hotel for people who are addicted to technology. Its interior with various meeting and activity rooms reflects critically on our relationship and embodied experiences with smartphones, computers and social-media.

The hotel is situated in the Caledonia Road Free Church ruins originally built in 1856 and designed by Alexander Thompson. Most of the original building was destroyed in a fire in 1965 and has been left into ruins ever since, placed in-between two highway roads on a triangular island.

This project aims to question the conventional meaning and interiors of a rehabilitation centre while providing an alternative relaxed and less-clinical atmosphere. The space combines the comforts of a hotel with the intentions of a rehabilition centre. The activities and the feel of the space engage patient in new ways to empower the lasting effects of
the treatment.
