PROJECT / FLETCHER HOTEL, AMSTERDAM , THE NETHERLANDS


preservation. The application of a subterranean thermal storage system and the instillation of façade insulation were other factors that led to this honour. The interior features, which were developed by Dutch designer Robert Kolenik, were also designed with environmental concerns very much in mind, in line with the designer’s own “Eco Chic” signature. The piano, for example, in the bar, is an exclusive Whaletone. Shaped like a whale and made out of sustainable materials, the proceeds from the ivory free instrument’s considerable asking price (usually in the region of £75,000) are donated to charities that fight to save animals from the clutches of the ivory trade. As well as this, Eco-board made from agricultural waste is used for the chair frames, while duvets and pillows have been stuffed with feathers from organic chickens, creating a particularly eco friendly luxury. Boasting a fully glazed façade, the building’s many screens and round windows lend a distinctive yet restrained appearance to the building and the architecture of neighbouring buildings is reflected in the circular motif found in the hotel’s façade pattern. Blue colourings and shaded fittings provide a prominent outer shell to the building creating a colour palette that causes the building façade to appear as if it is mirroring the sky.


Apart from the coloured glass that gives the structure its distinctive hue, light fittings are also used to good effect.


At night the building is partially lit by the hotel room’s illuminated windows, but also by light fixtures installed between the façade shells, which make the Fletcher Hotel visible and identifiable long after sunset.


The Breda based Livingprojects was responsible for the exterior lighting design, a company well versed in producing creative light solutions that are both environmentally sustainable and energy

Amsterdam a été rénové et agrandi avec une Flanquant l’autoroute A2, une artère principale à Amsterdam, l’ Hôtel Fletcher est un marquer im- pressionnant à l’entrée de la Venise du Nord. Le


bâtiment se vante une façade entièrement vitrée et fenêtres rondes que prêter un distinctif encore restrictif apparence au bâtiment. Apres complétant du processus de conception, on a été décidé par Liv- ingprojects que le Philips Color Kinetics eW Graze était l’appareil le mieux adapté à l’Hôtel Fletcher et son apparence dynamique. Cet étroit, mais puis- sant, luminaire a été choisi, en partie, parce qu’il ne serait pas entraver la fenêtre système de net- toyage qui doit être capable de monter et descendre le bâtiment et sur les appareils éclairage. Un total de quatre vingt appareils de Philips Color Kinetics eW Graze ont étaient placé sur la structure espacés avec quarante appareils installés au fond du bâti- ment et quarante en haut. Avec sa nature pensant écologique et son dessin modern, l’Hôtel Fletcher est une structure vers l’avenir


Philips Color Kinetics eW Graze fixtures were used to light the hotel’s facade. A total of 80 fixtures were installed, 40 at the top and 40 at the bottom of the building.
