San Isidro, Perú
Hotel Marriott Courtyard
10,500.00 m2
2009
A 1,000.00 m2 lot with 4 facades in the middle of San Isidro could be perceived as a great opportunity. Nevertheless, once setbacks, escalated maximum heights are established along with an ambitious program for an international hotel brand, the opportunity translates to a challenge. Internally the spatial distribution is simple and profoundly logic, as how hospitality buildings should always be. Two-level base contains the public spaces, rooms are arranged form third level upwards, and parking and general services are laid out in the basement levels. The building exhibits order according to its prominence, based on the following elements:
– Horizontal curtain wall system bands.
– Balustrade or shadow lit boxes that span between rooms with terraces
– Double height base that showcases transparency over public areas while combining horizontal wood strips adding up warmth over the most visible walls.
