Living Roof B
Countering trends to concentrate hotel guests in tourist ghettos, the Living Roof project exists as individual suites spread throughout the city.
Today’s traveler, be it a short tour or a longer stay, wants to experience urban life as the locals do. Countering trends to concentrate hotel guests in tourist ghettos, the Living Roof project exists as individual suites spread throughout the city. These Lodgings are located in the most sought-after quarters of the city, reflecting the variety of experiences possible. Their location changes every two years, ensuring that distribution reflects the city’s development and continues to provide unexpected adventures for retreat visitors.
City life is experienced by immediacy; occupants are enticed to absorb local culture and cuisine rather than being segregated by the hotel’s services. Thus traditional Hotel lobby, bar and restaurant are replaced by a comprehensive dining and culture guide. It is updated weekly, and customized for each location and guests preferences so they can eat, drink and party where the locals do. The interactive guide, complete with video preview and menu listing is available on the suite’s integrated touch screen or can be transferred to PDA.
Check in is as simple as inputting your guest ID on an external terminal. A hatch slides open, stairway extends, and a pleasant voice welcomes you inside.
A delightfully sensuous form conceals a barrage of regenerative and resource conserving systems. When unoccupied the unit continues to generate wind and solar power, generating more electricity over the year than it consumes.
