The lobby of a hotel suspended above an active archaeological excavation.

The arrival hall of the Museum Hotel Antakya, where the building floats above the mosaics of an ongoing excavation.

Copper pendants, sheer drapery, and a canopy of suspended elements soften the scale of the hall without competing with the ruins below.
