A 39-guestroom hotel is nestled within a curvilinear mixed-use complex.
Hotel Habita is part of a sinuously curved 131,200-square-foot mixed-use complex that encircles an outdoor public space. In addition to the hotel, the complex features parking, commercial spaces, and apartment units. The 11,800-square-foot hotel portion is treated as an independent element within the complex.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
The eight-story exposed concrete hotel is a unique ovoid plan. Hotel guests enter the building through a freestanding concrete and glass-encased ground level entryway that also serves as the entrance for the overall complex. The lounge, restaurant, bar, and business center are housed on the second floor; thirty-nine guestrooms are situated on the six upper levels. In a fitting touch even the canopy shading for the eighth-floor rooftop terrace is a thin concrete slab suspended from steel cables.
