T H E C H A L L E N G E
While the living space of Chijil are being planned and built, the owners are still in the process of developing the concept and identifying their target clientele. Since we believe that the target audience and their needs has major implications on decisions such as User Experience, Interior Design, Set up & Service - the project was in need of quick guidance and directions.
It was important to adapt a global perspective on target groups while taking into consideration relevant market trends and developments in hospitality and travel. The goal was to identify and characterize client groups that match the space identity and vision of the owner - and provide references and links for inspiration.
O U R I M P A C T
We based our research on a primary consultation with the owners about their space vision, its look and feel, location, facilities, and the targeted service level. Subsequently we dove into a deep research about trends and developments and selected the ones where we saw parallels for both space identity and set up.
We further analyzed the target groups and refined them based on the feedback we accumulated. We re-characterized the personas based on their interest rather than optics. Lastly, we collected and showcased a vast collection of comparable, inspirational concepts around the world - highlighting their USP’s and product offering.
