The hotel’s strong planar design grounds the building in its surroundings. Two monolithic slabs articulate a comprehensive podium on which three slender floor plates are stacked and setback, so delivering a generous ground floor terrace to the hotel’s high-end bar and restaurant.
The lighter floor plates above, housing the various bedroom suites, appear to float, their refined horizontality accentuated by deeply inset full height glazing on all four sides.
