HOTEL CASINO DE CHAVES

rdlmarquitectos — Mon, 14 Nov 2022 23:27:04 +0000

The Hotel casino Chaves is a structure that is not reducible to the gambling área but to other facilities that complement each other, forming a whole, where the living and fun fuse. Open spaces to the city so that the city can take advantage of them.

It is situated in one of the entrances of the city of Chaves, as if it were a front door. The land is worth by its location, shape and position on the city. Implemented at the highest point of the land, it develops at various levels, some buried and opening in different directions, assuming themselves as walls, defining spaces and containment of land.

The set is molded to the terrain merging with the landscape, appearing and disappearing. The different dimensions of the plot define different arch centerings.

The Hotel and the Casino had to be designed and implemented to become a valence between urban use and the distancing from the place, a reference for those who enter in the city, and for those who are looking from it. It was important to maintain a dialogue with the city.

The basic idea in this project is the basic physical boundaries created by geometric lines, turned into walls that define spaces with different valences and ways of being, but that can be experienced sequentially.

The stone, the zinc and the concrete are the material support used as the integration solution in the environment and the chromatic value of the landscape.

Designing a New concept for Our New Office Site is an art on its own, and there’s so much that goes into the process besides just the visual aspects.

We want to have a conceptual design – what it is, what purpose it serves, and the best way to approach it to our partners and clients.

CONTEST WINNER – RECAFE (Requalification of the Espinho Railway Channel)

Espinho can be read as an orderly city facing the sea. The same sea that was its genesis, planned with a clear geometry where the railway line was part.

A railway line that was important in the urban development of the city and that even if it has disappeared, the great void we absorb in everyday life is still present.

An important void in geometric terms, of large dimensions, today an identity, but which must be transformed, to occupy the role and urban influence that it once had and that corresponds to it.

Despite its difficult use and potential, this void has two characteristics:

Firstly, its scale, its dimension, which makes it unappealing to the citizen, who hardly sees himself in that same space, where he hardly finds a place where he can be and enjoy. As it is, it is a space without human scale. In second place and in continuity with the previous one, the difficulty of establishing its limits as well as its character. It is urban but also interurban.
