Utopia in Dystopia

Final plantroom placement. Place of utopia within dystopia

Within the final design of the hotel, the composition of the functional areas show a separation of utopia and dystopia. As highlighted in yellow, this area between the hotel and the surrounding buildings creates a sense of ideal space, contrasting to the imagined ruinic environment that lies outside. The way the communal areas such as balconies and plantrooms are concentrated within this space allows for a place of refuge for the guests from the outside world.
The flying vehicle dock which is situated in between the two surrounding buildings embraces the environment by utilising the existing structures. Not only does this dock act as a transition point between hotels but also a direct transition point between the obvious contrasts of the ruins and the ideals.
