Designed by AND Architects, the Aggrenad Hotel on Geoje Island, Korea, stands out structurally in an otherwise plain village landscape. The somewhat Brutalist style concrete architecture reveals a monolithic and organic quality that reflects the hotels concept accordingly.
The hotel was designed to encourage tourism in the area and to provide guests with different views of the same place. The unusual stacked shape means that rooms and balconies point out in different directions giving the property an unconventional edge. With just five suites spread over three storeys and a cafe, the hotel boasts varying views of the surrounding area whilst maintaining independence and privacy for its guests.
"The building is formed like how fingers are branched out from a hand forming different parts. It is the aggregation of unique rooms, yet at the same time, it is an organic monad. Each unit is cantilevered out towards the sea as if fingers are pointing at the nearby islands. This allows each unit to frame the surrounding landscape in a unique way. This three story building is consisted of five rooms and a small cafe, and the rooms stacked in five split levels. The floor and the ceiling of each unit are stretched out toward the different directions, and at the end of each unit is a small balcony, which opens up toward the sea and the sky."
