New year, new stories - Puerta America Hotel Madrid (Part 2)

Updated: Mar 27, 2023

...The rooms on the 3rd floor were assigned to David Chipperfield, a famous British architect. He used 70x210 ceramic tiles for the floor and work desk to create a connection between the floor and interior furniture. The ceiling is a polished blue slope that stands out amidst the black and white colours, creating a relaxing atmosphere for guests.



Plasma Studio, a young architectural firm founded by two architects, Eva Castro from Argentina and Holger Kehne from Germany, won a selection process to participate in this project. When designing the 4th floor, Plasma Studio used triangular surfaces to create multidimensional spaces for the lobby, corridor, and bedrooms. When entering this floor, one feels like being in a natural tunnel deep in the mountains, and the lobby and bedrooms are like large and impressive caves.



The 5th floor is also special because it was designed based on the ideas of two Spanish fashion designers, Victorio & Lucchino. With the consistent spirit of creating products that bring comfort and peace, the design of this floor shows how fashion influences interior design through the use of black polished wall surfaces, velvet chairs, black stone floors, and a combination of large wall paintings by artist Sergio Cruz and linen, velvet, and cotton-covered furniture.



Australian designer and sculptor Marc Newson brings luxury and convenience to the minimalist space on the 6th floor and the bar area. The dominant red colour on the wall surfaces combined with black wooden furniture creates contrast and attraction for the lobby and corridor. The bedrooms are designed simply with neutral colours and modern materials.

The 7th floor is a combination of curves, the hallmark of Israeli architect Ron Arad. By highlighting the central point with circular wooden furniture, such as a sofa (lobby) or a bed (bedroom), combined with continuous curved wall surfaces, guests will slowly discover these interconnected yet separated spaces for a profound experience.



The 8th floor is a space where users can explore the interior design as if they were the ones who created it, thus discovering themselves through a very simple design with a dominant white tone. The glass fiber wall surfaces combined with spotlights, like a chain of memories when entering the lobby, make a strong visual and emotional impression, as if it were a space waiting to be filled by the presence of the users. Scottish architect Kathryn Findlay combined technology and artistic elements to create a unique and impressive space. (to be continued...)
