Photographer: diephotodesigner.de, Architect: Marc Newson The Hotel Puerta América is located at an unspectacular address in Madrid’s Avenida de América. But its colourful facade is a clear signal that it is an extraordinary place to accommodate guests.
Inside, the building reveals a paradise for architecture and design lovers and presents a serious challenge for the guest in selecting a room: guests must select in which of the architectural adventure worlds they are to spend their nights – or, they must move from room to room ...
The individual signature of an architect is evident on each floor of the hotel. The host hotel group, Silken, placed no limitations at all on the ideas of the progressive builders – a situation that has since proven to be of benefit to the hotel guests. From the parking garage at the lowest level to the top floor, astonished guests are mesmerized by the permanent exhibition of contemporary architecture, which they cannot only admire, but also occupy. The philosophy of the hotel allows its guests to participate in their adventure trip even within the walls of the hotel.
A total of 19 internationally renowned “stars” among architects and designers have implemented their ideas on 12 floors of this sensational “Museum for a night”.
The Puerta América is a cosmos of a variety of shapes and styles, with extravagant lighting and design concepts and exceptionally outstanding materials, whose processing is presented here in completely new dimensions.
Rosskopf & Partner, as the only European processor of solid surface material, was able to demonstrate outstanding expertise in the area of material shaping and its outstanding universal engineering capabilities in providing perfect implementation of architectural ideas. In combination with extensive export experience, optimum conditions were present for a successful partnership.
