Hotel Concepció by Nobis . The project transforms a historic building in Palma's old town into a 31-room hotel, with a restaurant. . The strategy of the project was detection, conservation, and put in value the construction elements of the original age building: arches, vaults, columns, corbels, stone-carved shields... We made special efforts to recover all the original textures and elements trying to not disturb it when incorporating the program. . The new structure in the rear collapsed area was built using a large concrete slab of plank beams, accompanying the scale of the vaulted space. . the new distribution was made not by walls from top to bottom, but by movable “boxes” that reach mid-height that allows to perceive the general space of origin with respect. . We have incorporated a small pool and terraces to revitalize this beautiful rear space. As an oasis. . For us was important that the original building and the new actions wouldn’t be mimicked, they are clearly identifiable. That’s why the boxes were designed from abstract and simple volumes in steel. The main staircase also had to be widened to connect the upper level. This extension was also designed in an abstract origami shape made in steel. . we chose Huguet's hand-made hydraulic pavement with a custom composition. A never been manufactured large-scale format was placed on the ground floor. This material connects with the traditional hydraulic flooring and at the same time updates the building, giving a fresh and bright character. . We have incorporated a large number of plants to complete the atmosphere of open and airy space, similar to the feeling of the mediterranean porches. . The result is an intervention that aims to be radically respectful of the original building, which tries to take full advantage of the spatial potential of the original building and which, at the same time, gives place to a building with a bright and open atmosphere that links it to the present day. . @egarquitectura collab Photos by @jesusgranada . #architecture #archilovers #archdaily #hotel #architecturehunter #instarchitecture #luxuryhotels #luxuryhotel #mallorcalifestyle #designinspo #architectureinspiration
