Hotel Puerta America / Plasma Studio
Posted in Architecture - Hotel by * FORMAKERS
Plasma Studio was invited to contribute to a radical new design concept centered on the question of what would a hotel, where each floor was designed by a different firm, look like? Their answer is the fourth floor of the Hotel Puerta America in Madrid, Spain where the fragmentation of space evolves as guests move through it.© Plasma Studio
The corridor is made from stainless steel, which devised into angular sections in a parametric tunnel, compresses and releases as guests approach their room.© Plasma Studio
LED lighting slices along the path with subtly changing hues to help guest recognize their location.© Plasma Studio

Each floor is composed of two wings with 15 rooms to each side.© Plasma Studio
The architects refer to the meeting of the two corridors as a Vortex, where the ceiling is lowered thus creating a cocoon like environment.© Plasma Studio
Adjacent to the compressed space are windows overlooking the Madrid skyline.© Plasma Studio
The room’s entrance is designed as a fractured funnel, composed of the same steel finish as the hallways.© Plasma Studio
Further inside softer materials pick up the formulation in glass, and eventually fabrics.© Plasma Studio

LED lighting embedded in the ceiling continues the angularity even as the room takes on a more conventional form.© Plasma Studio
