IF he could have it his way, Jean-Michel Gathy would like to build the first hotel on the moon. “It would be the most stunning product in the world but given the many technical challenges at present, I believe it would be more of a technical achievement as opposed to a hotel or design achievement,” he says.
That answer alone sums up the genius approach Gathy, the principal designer of design firm Denniston, has adopted in his creative lens in building some of the world’s most renowned luxury hotels and resorts. A ‘living legend’ in the world of architecture, Gathy is an award-winning architect and interior designer with more than 40 years of experience in the hospitality industry.
