The client's wish was to design an extension to present 3-star hotel from 1850.
Project's site is very complex due to non-conformal use in the Urban plan and the design thus must be chosen very carefully. Also the 5-star ratings determine the design significantly.
Basically the extension is designed as 4 'finger' extensions with 2 courtyards. This maximizes the room areas and still fulfils the high demands for light and privacy. One of the main thoughts is to design the hotel as Irish first low energy hotel. As a template was used the idea
of Hotel Scandic in Sweden.
