KA Portals Hotel

We were asked to refurbish the existing building without altering its volume or structure.

There is a marked contrast between the volume of the old hotel and the typical residential buildings in the area. The project tries to moderate this impact by establishing a relationship with the surrounding vegetation.

We make large columns of plants climb up the facade up to the pergola at the top, wrapping the entire tower with a large green mantle that reduces the weighty presence of the building.
The terraces – hung from cables that reduce their edge – appear suspended between the columns of vegetation.

The intention is to make everything seem fragile, bringing out the green of the plants.
