Royal Tulip Hotel Apartments

Royal Tulip Hotel Apartments

Pitagoras Group as Architects

The Project presented, aims to be materialized on a land close to the Accra airoport, near one of the main structuring roads of the city, that leads to the centre (downtown), in an area that is under clear development. The building is designed to become a residential hotel that will complement the Golden Tulip Hotel structure, situated in the adjacent land, although the access to the Golden Tulip is to be made from Libertion Road, whereas the present building will be accessed from S. Liberation link. It is therefore, a residential type structure with services and infrastructures of the hotel. The land where the construction will be set has a lanky configuration, with around 32,0m front and 95,0m depth. The construction will occupy all of the land, with a basement for parking and technical areas. Above soil it will have a, 5 level, volume in all its length, above which will be the exterior swimming pool, with the remaining floors set back, in relation to the street, creating a small 12 storey tower. On the first floors will be the reception, bar, restaurants and lounge areas, as well as work areas like kitchen and so forth. On the following 3 floors will be, mainly, the smaller apartments, with 1 or 2 bedrooms and on the 4th floor the spa, buffet room and an exterior terrace with bar and swimming pool. Above this will be a technical floor. On the remaining floors, will be the bigger apartments with 3 or 4 rooms. All of the apartments will have balconies, which, will draw one of the fundamental characteristics of the building, creating a skin that shreds to create openings. The apparently random design of the façades searches to propose a game to discover the buildings organisation scheme, but also and above all deceive the large scale, making it as undeterminate as possible. This way searching to make the building perceivable and identifiable from the roads with a structuring character, although its access is made from a secondary road.
