Hôtel CONSERVATORIUM by Daniel Knuttel, Piero Lissoni - Amsterdam - PAYS-BAS

Construit au 19ème siècle, ce magnifique bâtiment emblématique fut tour à tour siège d'une grande banque pendant 77 ans, puis conservatoire de musique d'Amsterdam, avant de subir une restauration complète par le célèbre architecte-designer Piero Lissoni qui, après le succès de l'hôtel MAMILLA, signe-là le CONSERVATORIUM, un luxueux hôtel design 5 étoiles hors norme qui nous rappelle l'histoire de la ville.




Le CONSERVATORIUM a signé un accord avec l'organisation Green Globe pour le développement durable, un effort concerté afin de réduire les impacts négatifs sur l'environnement, d'accroître l'utilisation d'énergie renouvelable et de matières premières afin de créer un système de gestion à long terme durable. La réalisation la plus importante à ce jour a été la mise en place d'un système de pompe à chaleur géothermique qui exploite la chaleur naturellement dans le sol pour assurer une distribution d'énergie et de chauffage très efficace pour l'hôtel.


L'atrium, point central de l'hôtel:



La verrière qui recouvre toute la cour intérieure donne cette touche unique au lieu, créant un contraste entre l'ancien et le nouveau, le classique et le moderne. Des espaces qui jouent de la lumière naturelle et qui changent de tonalités selon le fil de la journée...
Le sculptural escalier en métal, signature incontestable de Piero Lissoni, renforce cette dimension chic, majestueuse et contemporaine.




Du mobilier et luminaires Cassina, Living Divani, Vitra et Piero Lissoni habillent les espaces communs, agrémentés de tapis asiatiques pour un rendu des plus accueillant et chaleureux.


Les chambres:

L'hôtel CONSERVATORIUM dispose de 129 chambres et suites (de 30 à 170 m2) sur 8 étages. Rendant hommage à l'origine du bâtiment et profitant des hauts plafonds pour en faire des duplex, les suites spacieuses, aux fenêtres surdimensionnées, vous inonderont de lumière naturelle.

CristalBubble by Pierre Stéphane Dumas - FRANCE

Les beaux jours arrivent, les jours se rallongent et pourquoi ne pas "buller" le temps d'un weekend insolite? Venez découvrir la gamme CristalBubble, des cabanes Bulles installées dans de ravissants écrins de verdure, un atout de charme pour renouer différemment et pleinement avec la nature...





La gamme CristalBubble est une nouvelle approche de l'hébergement temporaire de loisir et de l'écotourisme de luxe ayant un impact environnemental le plus faible possible. Elle est basée sur les fondements suivants: minimum d'énergie, minimum de matière, maximum de confort. Cette structure pourra vous offrir un espace privilégié ouvert sur la nature et ses paysages.


De véritables pièces à vivre totalement transparentes:

Cette structure sans armatures aux cloisons et toit presque virtuels, est rendue possible grâce à une turbine spéciale (option turbine à économie d'énergie) qui envoie en permanence de l'air pour maintenir la structure en forme, renouveler l'air et supprimer les problèmes d'humidité. A l'intérieur, un air de qualité, pas de moustiques, et une acoustique particulière et apaisante.

"Les cabanes Bulles sont pour moi une sorte de catalyseur ataraxique, un lieu à part où se poser, souffler et prendre du recul. Grâce à sa géométrie et à son principe de fonctionnement, elle bénéficie d'un effet acoustique étonnant: les bruits venant de l'extérieur sont atténués, et les bruits émis de l'intérieur sont renvoyés vers le centre de la sphère, ce qui amène immanquablement les hôtes à parler plus doucement en générant un sentiment d'apaisement propice au bien-être."

Pierre Stéphane Dumas, designer


Genèse de la cabane:

"J'ai imaginé cette Bulle pour offrir à ses hôtes l'expérience d'une nuit à la belle étoile avec tout le confort d'une chambre d'hôtel. Le plafond de ce cocon à rêver ayant pour seule limite la voie lactée. Vous vivrez l'extraordinaire variation des dégradés de lumière, du couché du soleil aux premiers frémissements de l'aurore"... "Elle offre proximité avec la nature, bien-être et sensation de liberté. Elle est aussi bien adaptée à la magie d'une nuit en pleine nature que pour disposer d'un espace vie multifonctions en toutes saisons."
