1. Authenticity: Traditional architecture designs should reflect the local culture and the historical context of the location. Therefore, a designer must ensure that the design style, materials, and construction methods used are authentic and befitting the culture.
2. Space planning: The layout of the hotel or restaurant should be well-organized and functional, with an appropriate division of spaces for public and private uses. The placement of furniture and fixtures should also be carefully planned to ensure practicality and comfort.
3. Materials: Traditional materials like wood, stone, and brick should be used to create an authentic feel for the hotel or restaurant design. High-quality and locally-sourced materials should be used wherever possible.
4. Color scheme: Traditional architecture often features natural, earthy colors. Therefore, the designer should select a color palette that complements the materials used and the surroundings.
5. Lighting: Lighting should be carefully planned to enhance the atmosphere of the hotel or restaurant, while also ensuring adequate illumination for guests.
6. Sustainability: Traditional architecture often leverages natural resources. Therefore, the designer should incorporate sustainable elements such as renewable energy sources, green roofs, and natural ventilation systems.
7. Accessibility: The hotel or restaurant should be accessible to all customers, regardless of their physical capabilities. The design should incorporate ramps, wide corridors, and doorways to cater to customers with disabilities.
8. Branding: The hotel or restaurant's branding should be reflected in the design elements, including the logo, color scheme, and visual identity. These elements should also reflect the regional identity of the location.
9. Flexibility: The hotel or restaurant's design should be flexible enough to cater to future changes in the market and to allow for further expansion.
