The winning entries of the fourth Inspiration Hostel competition

For many creative folks, having a workspace to focus and to get away from it all is essential—or is something that is greatly desired, at least. How would designers envision the ideal artists' retreat? In their yearly Inspiration Hostel ideas competition, organizer Opengap poses that question to participants worldwide.

For its fourth edition, the open competition attracted over 180 entries. OpenGap shared the top entries (three prize winners, one honorable mention) with Bustler. Have a look at them below.
