About
The frame leaves space for hanging gardens, openings and pauses, so the mass of the hotel breaks down and opens to the landscape around it.
Outside and in, local materials and traditional patterns tie the hotel to the local culture.
In 2020 the project won first prize as the new eco-friendly building of the Manila region.
Sustainability
Rooms are prefabricated off site and set into a metal exoskeleton, then finished with local materials, which shortens construction and limits waste on the mountain site.
