From Design to Construction: Small hotel unit and bathing station 

 

The aim of the project was to create a complete hotel unit (including a  cafe-bar and a restaurant) accompanied by bathing facilities and a marina for small boats. 

 

The concept is based on continuity and organic forms while all the buildings are connected either with constructed curves or with virtual ones.  The hotel ‘s location -near the sea- inspired us to that direction. By trying to design the marine,  we came up with the idea of a a curb that unites all the buildings.

 

The shape of the boats and ships also inspired us in order to “reverse” it and to develop the organic forms that host the public facilities.

 

The volume with the hotel’s rooms is the only one that has a normal geometric shape (part of circle) in order to separate itself from the public facilities.
