Hotel
Puerta America is a new radical design hotel in Madrid.
A different architect/interior designer of international standing has been
commissioned to create each floor of the hotel, giving free rein to their
creativity in the development of the rooms and floor as a whole. The list
includes Foster and Partners, Zaha Hadid, Chipperfield, Jean Nouvel, Arata
Isozaki, Ron Arad, John Pawson etc.
The hotel has 13 floors with 30 rooms, 1200 sqm per floor.
Plasma Studio has been commissioned for the fourth floor.
Hotels
are usually characterized by linear bands of repetitive units with resulting
anonymous undifferentiated corridors that contrast with the hotels’ ambition
to treat each guest as an individual.
For the design of level 4 of Hotel Puerta America we used this repetitive
rhythm of partition walls, service ducts and entrance doors as a sectional
framework from which a differentiation of the corridor skin was devised. In
other words the perpendicular partition walls were pulled along their axis,
while the entrance doors produced resistance. In addition to this radical
geometric formation we introduced a colour gradient as an LED light seam that
gradually changes.
In this way each section of the corridor has its own unique character. Its
colour is continued into the adjacent rooms so that guests develop an intuitive
sense of their place within the whole floor.
