Inntel Hotel Amsterdam – Zaandam
15, Provincialeweg, Zaandam, The Netherlands
Zaandam town centre is being radically revamped on the basis of an urban
development plan is reinstating the historical street layout, reconstructing an
urban waterway and reintroducing atmosphere into the somewhat impersonal and
dull town centre, employing magnified stylistic features of the historical
Zaanse Schans village.The hotel is the new centre’s
eye-catcher and icon. The colossal, twelve-storey-high hotel tower, essentially
square in plan, is a monumental stacking and interpretation of various
green-painted house types typical of the Zaan region, ranging from a stately
notary’s dwelling to worker’s cottages. ‘The Blue House’, inspired by the work
Claude Monet painted at Zaandam in 1871, is the ultimate attention-grabber. The
overall result is striking. The varied
fenestration, broad protruding sections and bay windows, and decorative
white ridge-pieces lend depth and an expressive relief to the façade. The
overall result is striking.The hotel is unique, familiar yet original and idiosyncratic. It has
generated a flurry of attention in Dutch and international media, from Korea to
Mexico and from Japan to Sweden.
"The best compliment I've
had," says Van Winden, "is from friends who say the building makes
them smile. This should be enough for any architect."
