El impresionante hotel de Zaha Hadid Architects en Dubái

Ubicado a solo unos pasos de los centros de diseño, moda, arte y cultura, luce el Opus, complejo que alberga el primer hotel Me by Meliã en el Medio Oriente.

El complejo, obra de Zaha Hadid Architects, consta de un edificio de vidrio con espejo en el que un hotel, oficinas, apartamentos con servicios y restaurantes conviven de manera armoniosa.

ME Dubái en el Opus es el único hotel cuyo diseño de exterior e interior corrió a cargo de Zaha Hadid.

La construcción en forma de un cubo gigante con un agujero al centro consta de dos torres conectadas en la parte superior e inferior, creando un efecto de vacío.

El interior del vacío se ilumina por las noches con luces que se controlan de manera individual.

El hotel, recientemente inaugurado (marzo 2020), cuenta con 74 habitaciones y 19 suites.

Pisos de mármol destacan en el lobby del inmueble decorado con asientos otomanos.

Cada habitación del hotel cuenta con una cama diseñada con un colchón acomodado en un marco escultórico proyectado desde la pared.

Sobre los lavabos de los baños cuelgan espejos con curvas que hacen juego con el vacío central del complejo.

En pro de la sostenibilidad, todas las habitaciones cuentan con botellas de agua hechas de acero inoxidable, mismas que pueden rellenarse en dispensadores que están repartidos por todo el hotel.

Además, no existe la modalidad de buffet para evitar el desperdicio de alimentos.

ME Dubai hotel at the Opus by #ZahaHadidArchitects for @OmniyatOfficial - brilliant new photography by @LaurianGhinitoiu . . Located in the Burj Khalifa district adjacent to Downtown Dubai and Business Bay on the Dubai Water Canal, the Opus explores the balance between solid and void, opaque and transparent, interior and exterior. . Designed as two separate towers that coalesce into a singular whole, the Opus takes the form of a cube. The cube has been ‘eroded’ in its centre, creating a free-form void that is an important volume of the design in its own right. The two halves of the building on either side of the void are linked by a four-storey atrium at ground level and also connected by an asymmetric 38 metre wide, three-storey bridge 71 metres above the ground. . The precise orthogonal geometries of the Opus’ elemental glass cube contrast dramatically with the fluidity of the eight-storey void at its centre. . The cube’s double-glazed insulating façades incorporate a UV coating and a mirrored frit pattern to reduce solar gain. Applied around the entire building, this dotted frit patterning emphasizes the clarity of the building’s orthogonal form, while at the same time, dissolving its volume through the continuous play of light varying between ever-changing reflections and transparency. . The void’s 6,000 square metre façade is created from 4,300 individual units of flat, single-curved or double-curved glass. The high-efficiency glazing units are comprised of 8mm Low-E glass (coated on the inside), a 16mm cavity between the panes and 2 layers of 6mm clear glass with a 1.52mm PVB resin laminate. This curved façade was designed using digital 3D modelling that also identified specific zones which required tempered glass. . During the day, the cube’s façade reflects the sky, the sun and the surrounding city; whilst at night, the void is illuminated by a dynamic light installation of individually controllable LEDs within each glass panel. . The @ME_by_Melia #Dubai hotel incorporates 74 rooms and 19 suites, while the Opus building also houses offices floors, serviced residences and restaurants. . #uae #architectue #zahahadid
