Project Scope :  

This Post-Modernist Hotel Is A Glass Curtain Wall Construction, Built A Few Steps From Times Square.

- Its Facade Is Divided Into Crystal Blue Tiles Towards The West Side. 

- Tiles In Colors Orange & Pink To The East. 

- A Choice Of Color Attributed To The Allusion Of Heaven & Earth.

(The Complex Comprises Two Buildings):

- One High & One Low. 

- Both Related To The Hotel & It’s Many Facilities.

- The Main Tower Is Separated From The Pre-existing Structure.

(To Avoid Any Conflict Between The East & The New Building):

- A  Base Of Steel Trusses That Ensure Equal Distribution Of The New Building On The Existing Building.

- This Was Necessary Because The Structural Grid Of The E-Walk Did Not Match The Structural Grid Of The Hotel.

- Once Spread The Burdens Addressed The Link Between The Two Buildings Like A New Building On The Ground.

- Placing 18 Seismic Insulation That Ensure The Possibility That Both Works Move Independently.
