Revitalizing the historic Grand Hotel site into luxurious penthouse flats with modern finishes and enhanced balcony spaces, while preserving the iconic facade and optimizing views from the elevated location.
The site is at the former location of the historic Grand Hotel (1889-1966). This historic building was considered to be one of the leading hotel establishments of its time. Today only the facade of the hotel remains, and an 80s glass & plaster clad office tower has taken residence in its place.
Our Proposal is to convert the site back into a place of residence – penthouse flats. The exterior will carry the presence of a lightweight structure – rationalised by ‘squaring off’ the hexagonal 80s plan. Given the nature of the elevated site, the floor plate gain resulting from squarring the hexagonal plan will provide additional balcony space – a platform where residence can enjoy the view. The interior spaces will be fitted with a high level of finishes – providing comfortable living spaces just like the Grand Hotel once did.
