How Black & White Transformed This 1920s Shanghai Hotel | Modern Heritage | Interior Design Ideas

Video description from @designseedstudio

Welcome to DESIGN SEED!

Step inside a 100-year-old Shanghai hotel that has been reimagined into a timeless black and white sanctuary. Once known as the Far Eastern Hotel, this 1920s heritage building has witnessed decades of change, and today, it returns with a new identity as OPARTMENT. A unique, modern stay designed to feel like a home.

In this episode, we explore how designers transformed an abandoned historic building into a contemporary living space without erasing its past. Through a refined black and white interior design concept, the space becomes a quiet canvas where architecture, history, and everyday life come together.

From the calm, understated lobby to thoughtfully designed rooms with full living amenities, this is more than just a hotel tour. It’s a lesson in adaptive reuse architecture, heritage restoration, and modern minimalist living.
