La Vega

How can new buildings elevate and integrate into their context?

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.

Communal Spaces
Social spaces and gathering areas are integrated into the interlocking ring structures, designed using parametricdesign principles to optimize form and function. The interiors create dramatic and unexpected effects with local materials, offering elevated environments that feel rooted in their place while supporting resiliency and efficient energy use. The modular structure allows flexibility over time, aligning with the goals of metabolic architecture and sustainable development in the region.
