Manuelle Gautrand Architects shared their Enzo Hotel in Paris with us. The hotel’s strong triangular form holds different programmatic elements to engage its lively streetscape. The colorful façade took inspiration from the landscape’s natural palette. The colors add a crisp aesthetic to the building as the different panels and their varying tints add a sleek texture to the form. According to the architects, “Their fragmented bands give a kinetic effect to overall volume – one can see the movement of the cars there, a certain impression of speed.”

More images and more about the hotel after the break.

The building’s massing is elegantly shaved to conform to the urban constraints of the surrounding areas. The tapering and narrow ground floor plate of the hotel generated different ideas in plan for the building’s organization.

The volume offer “different perceptions” depending upon the angle viewed, resulting in a continually changing project with a “overall dynamic comprehensive view.”

I hope the jawas get their home back at some point… I hope Manuelle didn’t strain too much clearing out all those droids…

I don’t know… I think if you begin peeling back the photoshop effects from these renderings you’ll find something very uninspiring…

I agree to j’s doubt, but I’m not so mistrustful as Gautran’s projects often really end looking like PS render in real life.
She’s a nice designer. I only wonder how we will look at her projects in 10 to 20 years from now.

Nobody says:

This is just another bad design with fancy graphics and fancy words.

I’m sorry, but I can not see anything good about this; Irresponsible volume slashes from a rectangle, boring floor plans, topped with sugar coating metaphors. These are all familiar stuff, already. In a bad way.

If you want to design a hotel of 21st century with an ambition to win a competition for it, start from inside and try designing spaces first and not with slashing off a corner of a box at 7.3 degrees.
