Hotel Puerta America
Hotel Puerta America is a new radical design hotel in Madrid (Spain) and it was conceived as an architectural showcase, with individual floors fitted-out by different world-renowned architects, including Foster and Partners, Zaha Hadid, John Pawson, and Ushida Findlay. The Foster vision for the second floor was inspired by the work of the late Basque sculptor, Eduardo Chillida, who was a personal friend of both the client and Lord Foster. Chillida’s work explored natural materials, organic forms, and an architectural sense of space. The hotel has 13 floors with 30 rooms, 1200 sqm per floor. Plasma Studio has been commissioned for the fourth floor.
