The design group of Denton, Corker and Marshall in the 93rd reconstructed the warehouse building, turning it into a five-star hotel. The author's idea - to make both facades and interiors in the traditions of constructivism - is prompted by the hotel’s “past life” The hotel is certainly not boring. Designers fantasized: for example, at the 9th floor level, the pool went beyond what was permitted, hanging over the street. The design "pulls" on the subject of art, but it is doubly pleasant that it combines aesthetic function with a practical one: in the pool, as expected, you can swim, you can go to a nearby sauna, SPA center or fitness room. Everywhere there is a dialogue between the spaces - the hotel and the environment. The last two levels have open terraces overlooking the ocean and St. Paul’s Cathedral. A good place for the club and bar, located there, is truly dizzying. Views are a separate topic: this is also “painting”, and in a certain sense “hotel’s decoration details”. We can say that the authors decorated it on a large scale, rejecting all kinds of pettiness, which did not adhere to laconic minimalism. Futuristic clothes in a silver-golden gamut, invented by designers: aluminum, steel, mirrors and plastic ... bourgeois. And today's futurists are very pleased with the comfort. If it is, for example, a wide bed, a bright leather couch, a steel coffee table, designer light, a TV with a DVD player, and internet access. Design solutions, modern paintings and photos in public areas ... The hotel looks like a museum of modern art. Well, partly so.
