Container Hotel in Crimea, Ukraine by ZA Architects

Article source: ZA Architects

The main idea of the project is to create a flexible and multi-purpose solution for small and medium-sized hotel business. Here we suggest a modular structrure which can be easily  implemeted throughout Ukraine. If some changes in the insulation parameteres of certain details and in the layout of the hall should be made, this design can be realized in  other climates as well. In terms of structure, the hotel represents a construction kit on the basis of pre-fabricated units, such as “Containex”, which have the dimensions and technical specifications of maritime shipping containers.

Synchronization and quick dry contruction technologies make it possible to mount these container units forming various volumes, different in size, number of storeys and configuration, which is particularly important for small developing hotel businesses.

Functionally speaking, the hotel consists of three fragments that can be supplemented with other units as far as the hotel develops. They can either form one sigle whole or be scattered independently throughout the plot.

1. “Reception block” contains a hall, a reception desk, a cloakroom, a bar, a waitng zone, an office, a medical post, and a few guest rooms.
2. “Residential block” accommodates the rooms. There are rooms made of 1, 2 or even 3 modules for different needs.
3. “Service block” contains a gym, a restaurant, a beauty shop, a sauna, etc. As long as the hotel grows in size, other functions can be added to this block. Apart from larch cladding, other materials can be used for external finishing, including curtain wall systems.
