Shoreditch hotel
AQSO arquitectos office. The side elevation of the hotel extends the chess pattern of the black concrete façade.

the view from Rivington st

From the streets surrounding the scheme, the hotel is adapted to the urban façade, with a proportion of openings similar to that of the adjoining buildings. From these streets, there is an access point to the inner courtyard that separates the hotel from the commercial area.

Despite the bold form of the building, the image it presents from the adjacent streets is a volume that is fully integrated into the urban fabric.

The deformation of the volume adopts an almost sculptural language to modify the perspective from the intersection of the main streets. In the secondary streets, however, the building only stands out for its dark façade of pre-cast concrete, which forms a chequered pattern of openings.
