city hotel

Project idea

The project area is located in Turkey's Denizli province. The current use of the area serves as a parking lot. The main theme of the project is how people coming to stay in the hotel meet with the city.
To give the hotel concept a new meaning, the hotel is intended to be used outside of the accommodation.

Project description

Environmental factors constitute the starting point of the design. The beginning of the project was to create an urban space on the street where the project area is located, to connect with the natural park in the city with a strong axis and to design the hotel entrance on the facade facing the main road.
The hotel mass is placed according to the angle of sunlight and slopeIn addition to the hotel mass, a ballroom and commercial units are added
L shape formed by the combination of masses defines the square
In the later stages, the hotel mass is raised 7 meters above the ground and forms the market area underneath.
Commercials under the ballroom mass, market area and sociocultural areas within the square define the square.

Technical information

The plan was drawn by creating grids of 11x9 meters.
The main carrier of the structure is designed as steel (due to the distance)
There is a 1.5 meter closed overhang and this overhang is used as a balcony.
The walls of the hotel room on the main facade stop 20cm away in order to add movement to the facade. For this process, steel profiles were used on the wall and boardex coating was mounted on these profiles, then the coating material was painted.
the other facade is designed with brick cladding
