Led by Aedas Global Design Principal Kevin Wang, the new leisure destination fronts the Dong’an Lake and backs Longquan Mountains. It is a contemporary resort that integrates hotel, ecology, sports and retail.
Kevin says, ‘Dong’an Lake is becoming an international gateway incorporating wellness, ecology and corporate image. The hotel thus connects to the developments in the vicinity, creating a unique experience that integrates with the environment.’
It is not unusual for adjoining buildings to become architecturally connected. But this project’s story is one of a kind: in the former imperial city of Dinkelsbühl, noa* has succeeded in giving different architectural identities, each with its own history and peculiarities, a common face.
The medieval town of Dinkelsbühl lies along southern Germany’s Romantic Road and marks the centroid of the Stuttgart-Munich-Nuremberg geographical triangle. It is one of Germany’s best-preserved historical centres, with ancient city walls, defensive moats and traditional half-timbered houses. In this unique urban fabric, opposite the Cathedral of St. George, the newly designed five-star hotel Goldene Rose welcomes its guests today. The house boasts a lively building history, which has now found a new perspective.
W Dubai Mina Seyahi is a 5-star beachfront resort located in north of the renowned Dubai International Marina Club. The project is an extension to the existing Le Meridien hotel. With an unrivalled beachfront location, the new Aedas-designed hotel tower is Dubai’s newest luxury hotel destination, promising to stun with its eclectic design.
Gaîté Montparnasse, the MVRDV-designed transformation of a city block just a short walk from Paris’ Tour Montparnasse, is now open. The project has rationalised the existing uses of the mixed-use block – which included a hotel, shopping centre, office space and a library – and densified the area by adding social housing and a kindergarten. In doing so, the building has become more welcoming and accessible to pedestrians, while reusing significant parts of the previous structure from the 1970s following circular economy principles.
Completed in 1974, the original design of the “Îlot Vandamme” by Pierre Dufau was a landmark in its time, with the strong vertical lines of what is now the Pullman Hotel tower creating an unmissable presence in Montparnasse. At the same time, the plinth of rough textured concrete, boxy reflective glass, and red steel lattices epitomised the foibles of its era: surrounded by wide boulevards, the block was dominated by cars, and when viewed from the street looked introverted and unwelcoming.
The Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel Hong Kong is a new luxury oceanfront resort hotel situated along Hong Kong’s southern coastline in Shum Wan, backed by Brick Hill and fronting the South China Sea. With its waterfront location, the hotel enjoys a tranquil atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of a city, yet with very convenient accessibility to the public transportation.
Inspired by its unique landscape and marine surroundings, the oceanfront hotel takes the architectural form of two streamlined towers that respond and blend comfortably within the existing topography, on top of a cascading podium with outdoor terraces stepping down towards the seaside.
The new 5 star Falkensteiner Hotel Montafon will open on 16 December 2022. It is located in a protected area of Montafon, an Alpine valley in the Austrian state of Vorarlberg gently nestled between forests and mountains. The Norwegian firm Snøhetta has designed the structures and the exterior architecture, while the interior design and design concept was interpreted by Milan-based firm Vudafieri-Saverino Partners.
This Love Hotel designed by DIN interiorismo´s team took as starting point for the development of the concept the tatami —these traditional Japanese mats that were used to cover the floor of the main rooms for the purpose of rescuing the close connection that should exist between the space and the person who is going to inhabit it, referring to the sensibility of human beings.
This design for Japan’s first hybrid timber high-rise hotel aims to maximize the use of local materials. With a concept of “experience Hokkaido,” the hotel features materials made and grown in the prefecture in everything from the building itself to the hotel’s management, construction materials to food.
The project is located on the shores of Shaori Lake in Racha, a mountainous region of Georgia. While being sparsely populated, nature in Racha thrives, standing exceptionally beautiful throughout all four seasons.
Shaori Lake itself is fairly distant from the nearby towns and villages, resulting in underdeveloped infrastructure.
