Hotel Liesma Proposal / ARQX Arquitectos + Carlos Lobão

Subscriber Access

© Carlos Lobão + ARQX

The musical theme is present in the project proposal by ARQX Arquitectos, therefore in a very metaphorical way, avoiding a mimetic decoration or spatial-appropriation to music reported items. They try not to just show musical objects, but to compose as a musician, to flow in nature and in space, contemplating and feeling. This idea of contemplation is seen in the rhythm of the volumes, as well as the allowance to go to the exterior, to feel weather contingency, to hear the sound of the sea and of the the wind in the trees constitutes the basic experience they feel a guest should have while staying at Liesma. More images and architects’ description after the break.

When we look at the project site it is quite easy to understand the great impact of the Hotel at the Dubultu Prospekts, given as the main access. The main characteristic of this piece of territory is the strong presence of trees, forming a dense green mass; road system is a very orthodox one, with clear and simple hierarchy; then, in this grid-system filled with trees, we distinguish isolated buildings, mainly houses. The felt ambience is the one of a beach-vacation site, with season variations of its occupation throughout the year.
