Unique Properties

Singularity and uniqueness are the main concepts that have guided the creation of the Hotel. For the design, and for the process of transforming the abstract concepts into the real, the Architects got inspired by nature, by the curves of nature. The studio designed a sculptural curved piece of architecture, conceived with the same concepts and the same spirit, from the macro to the micro scale, from the exterior design to the interior design.

Production Technology

Innovative Engineering structure To materialize the sculptural shape of the building, with floor plans that vary in size, a very exceptional engineering structure was designed, with a unique central pillar in the core of the building. This enabled to benefit from uninterrupted incredible views. Innovative Curved Glazing Facade An essential aspect of the hotel is the Skin of the building. As the essence of the sculptural shape is the curve, curved glasses were installed in the whole building.

Design Challenge

The main requirement for the design of the hotel had been to try to build an innovative architecture, with a singular and unique shape. The client wanted to try to build a jewel. Therefore, the main objective and the main challenge was to create, to design, to conceive and then to develop an innovative design, an Architectural Jewel, an Icon. The mission was, not only to design, but also to create an emotion on people, to surprise, to seduce, with both exterior and interior design.

Project Duration

The hotel is located in Punta del Este, Uruguay. The project started in 2013 and finished in 2019

Operation Flow

The studio designed two curved Architectural volumes. The main volume is vertical, with an elliptical plan that varies in size at every level, with a symmetry in the middle of the building. This main volume holds all the rooms of the hotel and many amenities. The secondary volume is horizontal and holds the hall and the cafeteria. It complements the main volume creating a balance between both volumes. The objective was to create a strong harmony in their aesthetics and between their forms.
