Hotels tell their story through space, from the first view of the lobby to the quiet of a guest room. Two projects explore the relationship between materials, light and a sense of place.

Hotel Jakarta Amsterdam
01 / Hotels
We look at the spatial ideas behind the images. Each project source leads directly to its design team.
01SeARCH
A planted atrium forms the heart of the hotel, with timber-lined levels looking into a shared indoor landscape. The glazed ground floor connects public spaces to the surrounding streets.
A shared interior garden can organize arrival, circulation and views. Coordinate planting, light and maintenance with the architectural section.

02Heatherwick Studio · Interiors: Liz Biden
The hotel occupies the upper levels of a converted grain-silo complex above Zeitz MOCAA. Faceted glass windows project from the concrete frame, opening the tall interiors towards harbour and city views.
A distinctive existing structure can guide a hospitality concept. Consider how new windows, room proportions and interior materials reveal the original building.

Editorial selectionThese buildings are projects by the named architecture teams. Ladenbau Studio selected them for inspiration and study; they are not part of our own project portfolio. The design notes are our editorial observations.
02 / Design insights
Our design notes explore the themes of the selection. They are editorial considerations for developing your own project.
Treat the entrance, reception and lounge as a connected experience. Include wayfinding and luggage routes from the start.
Lively shared areas need a considered relationship with quiet guest rooms. Address acoustics and sightlines in the initial plan.
Develop materials, fitted furniture and lighting together. Recurring details can connect the lobby, corridors and rooms without making them identical.
LADENBAU STUDIO
We bring spatial concepts, photorealistic 3D visualization and technical drawings together. Materials and furniture are developed with their implementation in mind.
