Connecting Rooftop by
Evgeni Leonov Architects is the winning proposal for the Tablet ‘Rethinking Hotels Ideas Competition,’
which asks entrants to challenge the notion of what it means to be an
‘exclusive’ hotel and to do so with an eye towards human psychology and
physical experience. Connecting Rooftop focuses on creating ‘Mix-Zones,’
where visitors and locals can engage in a variety of experiences and
activities along a variety of programmatically-unique zones.
Connecting Rooftop takes the shape of a deformed donut, with
portions of the structure touching the ground at two points. Inhabitable
areas are created by the interstitial spaces, a product of the digital
morphogenesis inherent in Connecting Rooftop’s design. When the
structure soars into the air, access is provided to a central courtyard
on the ground while elevating the occupied interior space above it.
Glass walls along the perimeter of this interior dining room -as well as
an occupiable roof terrace and ‘skyline bar’- provide 360 degree views
to the city. Again, programmatic spaces result from the shifting
geometries of the structure on the roof, where stepped terraces provide
dining platforms while the hyperbolic shapes above the ground help to
frame an open air amphitheatre. A swimming pool takes shape along the
ground level, where the structure is raised.This project is an attempt to create a programmatically- and formally- complex structure out of simple geometric shifts in structure, with program being inserted into residual spaces.
