HOTELS & RESORTS
The Courtyard Hotel & Hotel Residence Inn
- MARRIOTT PARIS -
The land allocated to the project is being developed as part of Roissy ’ s renewal plan , at a site close to Roissy Terminal 1 Airport , which aims to accommodate several hotels and office buildings .
The various future hotel projects will therefore be set up along an urban axis , eventually combining the tram , a double service road on either side of the tram , and bicycle and pedestrian paths along the lines . forecourt of the hotels . Our land is located at the eastern limit of this major axis , just before it passes under the taxiway dedicated to the various aircraft movements before and after takeoff : this situation at the end of the axis gives the project total visibility .
The program consists of two hotels designed in two separate volumes : the Courtyard Hotel with 229 rooms and the Hotel Residence Inn with 106 rooms . The two volumes sneak one behind the other and connect by a base , allowing to share some common areas .
Two types of functions are materialized by two different types of volumes : that of the rooms is repetitive , compact and regular , when that of the common parts is designed in a fluid spirit and open to the outside , fully glazed .
The facades are composed of colored modules corresponding to a room , creating a large gradient , from the darkest to the lightest from the bottom . The independence of each module is materialized by outlines that form a large grid , as wisely arranged .
