Hotel Belval
Design study
Cultural buildingu
The design goal is to design a hotel on the central square “Square Mile” in the former ironworks area in the south of Luxembourg. The selected property is located between the disused blast furnaces, on which there are also two empty sinter basins from the steel period, which will be landscaped as part of the new development and thus offer great recreational areas in the new urban district.
The large hotel complex enriches the urban development situation on the central square, where the building line of the district grid is incorporated. The clearly structured, nine-story building with a strict grid and a dominant base zone forms a strong element at this important city entrance. In addition to the lobby, the base zone as a semi-public building complex also includes a catering facility, which is intended for hotel guests and walk-in customers. The roof area of the dominant base zone is used as a lounge area and, thanks to its open design, offers a sublime view of the urban forecourt. There are 60 rooms of different categories on the floors above. The top floor contains a large wellness area. The building is provided with natural light by two large courtyards. A first atrium is located within the base zone in the restaurant area. The other atrium is located in the middle of the raised building and extends across all floors.
Projects
Design study Cultural construction On the site of a former quarry, a new attraction will be used to visualize the volcanic origins of the basalt quarry. The new building of a hotel and an exhibition center is intended to create a new tourist destination and meeting point for the “Am Gaulberg” catchment area – near […]
Facade design study Facade planning The basic idea was to design an element façade with the functionality of a double façade, with the desire to create a spatiality in the façade image without using large play of colors, but to achieve this purely through the shape of the elements. The wedge shape of the individual […]
New construction of an apartment building The property near the Nerotal valley in Wiesbaden is characterized by its steep slope, which drops about three meters from the road to the garden.
