Hue Hotel
How can architecture embrace the spirit of a place?
The design for Hue Hotel rethinks what tropical architecture can be in the 21st century. Embracing the lush climate but drawing attention inward, the bulbous design arrays a stack of interlocking rings that produce a procession of social spaces across terraces, roof gardens, and hotel amenities. Guests move between the shared communal spaces in the central enclosure to a collection of bespoke private rooms along the upper reaches of the building, demonstrating principles of metabolic architecture that support both environmental and social systems.

Communal spaces
Social spaces and gathering areas are integrated into the modular interlocking ring structures, designed using parametric design to optimize form and airflow while maintaining harmony with the tropical climate. The interiors create dramatic and unexpected effects with local materials, offering elevated environments that feel rooted in their place while also promoting resiliency and sustainable development practices aligned with eco-industrialization.
