Country living meets City Buzz by Steven Haygarth

Inspired by his negative experience of hostel rooms reflecting jail cells, Steven Haygarth, a fine art graduate, created an environment to oppose his generic association with low cost accommodation.

His log cabin themed room allows the consumer to combine the comforts of country/woodland living with the Central York buzz found at The Fort.

UV adds another dimension by Matt Sypien

Apple technology is the focal theme incorporated into
media technology and production student Matt Sypien's
UV light showpiece.

The utilisation of ultra violet lighting combined with engaging painted geometric shape visuals allow the room to take on two very different identities and truly comes to life when the 'conventional lights' are off.
