The main idea for the NU Hotel developed around the concept of visual and physical comfort. Identifying the hotel room as a “wearable” … a cool T-shirt with your favorite pair of luxury jeans. Utilizing a clean, non-trendy and honest palette: eco-friendly materials (cork, FSC certificated woods, vanilla and “utility gear” color tones) creates a “no-frilles” design approach rather than a superficial design statement. Trendy and chic “is out”, smart, elegant, simple, cool, confident, casual… all that defines the NU hotels is “in”.

Bathhouse • Text: Conceptually, the spa is based on the premise of an old roman bath. The space is organized along an axial condition reminiscent of roman church. The spaces are grand and hold secrecy. A space uncovers itself to the user as the experiences are confronted. The space is conceived from carving a solid piece of stone, giving presence and permanence.

International Architectural Competition The architectural concept proposes exposing its programming to the exterior. It allows the movements happening inside to be visible from the outside during its operation. It aims to experiment with the temporality of actions in a diffuse manner, erasing the physical barriers that would traditionally enclose it, presenting alternative realities to curious observers of what truly happens inside. EPAC divides its programming into two main areas that serve as organizers for the proposal: 3 EMPTY VOLUMES (Main Hall, Entrance, and Yard) interconnected, allowing flexibility in their uses and the possibility of functioning simultaneously or together. Surrounding them is a perimeter area that wraps around like a belt, housing the remaining programming (Entrance zone and Offstage spaces).
