THE EMPATHY SUITE

3d render

As part of the 2018 Palms Casino resort renovations, the former Hugh Hefner suite was redesigned by architects Bentel & Bentel in collaboration with artist Damien Hirst and renamed as the Empathy Suite. The two-story 9,000 sq ft (840 m2) suite includes various artwork and a curved bar for 13 people. It rents for a two-night minimum price of $200,000, making it the most expensive suite in the world.

I was employed by Damien Hirst during the construction of the suite. My model was used as a communication tool for clarity for everyone involved in the project.

I made this model of one of Damien Hirst's medicine cabinets for the Palms Empathy Suite job. I made the model using a single image painstakingly creating the bottles and mapping on the graphics. It took me a day and a half.  Model rendered with Thea render.
