Unbalance Hotel. OOIIO Architecture
Lo Studio OOIIO Arquitectura di Madrid ha progettato uno spettacolare albergo
che sarà realizzato alla periferia di Lima, in Perù.
La particolare struttura, dalla forma obliqua, è stata pensata come una cornice
che contiene lo splendido paesaggio peruviano caratterizzato da un lato dalle
Ande e dall'altro dall'Oceano Pacifico.
L'hotel avrà 125 camere, ristoranti, sale conferenze e spazi espositivi.
Unbalance Hotel
We have designed this singular hotel for a Latin American promoter interested in
creating a unique, innovative and worldwide recognizable building with a
moderate investment.
The building is located in Lima, a city which is enjoying nowadays a constant
growth.
The plot is located in front of the Pacific Ocean, in a quiet area outside of
the city centre, hanging on a cliff with a relative height, that appears due to
the proximity of the Andes to the Pacific Ocean.
This interesting topography is what we take advantage of to start the hotel
design.
A hotel with these characteristics and dimensions constructed in a traditional
way would be a visual barrier, so we bet on a frame-building that hosts a huge
program that could block the ocean´s view, but thanks to its peculiar shape,
the landscape is now even more relevant, we have framed it! and the observer will
appreciate both, sea and land through our building.
The outstanding building silhouette immediately grabs pedestrians attention and
it becomes actually a landmark for the more than 8 million inhabitants of Lima,
and the whole Peru.
The building has 125 rooms but there are an important percentage dedicated to
restaurants, conference rooms, meeting rooms, exhibitions, etc. the unique
shape of the building will be the perfect "frame" to attract people
and activities into it. This hotel achieves an extra profitability due to the
surprising, interesting and original design.
