项目概况:

The Hilton Hotel SchipholAirport designed by the famous architect Mecanoo is located near Amsterdam’sinternational airport, covering an area of 43,150 square meters. It has becomea recognisable icon at the airport and is prominently visible from themotorway. With its diagonal patternedfacade, curved corners and strategic location, from its spacious plinth, thecube-shaped hotel is rotated 45 degrees to establish a dynamic position.Rounded corners accentuate this dramatic effect so that the hotel contrastsstrikingly with its neighbouring, rectilinear buildings. The entrance, receptionand restaurant are located on the ground floor, while the conference centre onthe first and second floors adjoins a passageway that leads to theairport. As the heart of the hotel, the impressive atrium has a clearidentity featuring a 35-metre-high glass ceiling. All the white elements,especially the light horizontal balustrades, bounce daylight deep into thebuilding. Their arrangement forms a seemingly random pattern with a subtlegleam and texture. The combination of glass with grey and white panelsresults in a striking diamond-shaped pattern that is immediately recognisablefrom a distance.
