COLORFUL
Modern & Basic
Mercure Hotel Project, which brought a different line to city hotels, designed an area that keeps people away from stress and ensures them comfort in a peaceful and independent place far from the chaos of the city. An active and livable space can be spent for a long time was created in this project where you can find everything and escape from the chaos. The professional details in the comfortable meeting rooms completed the concept.
DESIGN ELEMENTS
Sophisticated
The structure makes indoor-outdoor boundary disappear with a continuous, permeable facade. In this manner, it allows the daylight in entirely. And provides the natural light setting for the user each time of the day.
DESIGN ELEMENTS
Woods&Lights
The most used materials were glass, stone and wood. In order to preserve the permeability in the house, all facades were surrounded by opening glass application. The natural stones offered by the topography were matched with specially manufactured ceramics and marbles, ensuring continuity from the soil. Wooden surfaces were preferred in almost all interior surfaces, and the use of natural materials was carried inside. All materials were used together in a balanced way for a warmer environment of the house.
REFLECTION OF DESIGN
Highlights
A key element for the concept is the reflection pools which serves a very important purpose from the aspect of biophilic design; while we carry nature into interiors, we make material connections with nature, we make an accent on our statement: a timeless biophilic design which is provided by the presence of water. In order to maintain spatial integrity in the common area arcades were used with a modern twist. While the gridal main carriages reach to the ground, metal mesh is preferred as an architectural element to have an interplay between light and shadow.
