The Design
About Don Majestic Feidhm: Óstán
Is óstán é Don Majestic in Punta del Este, Uragua. Tá cruth cuartha dealbhóireachta ar an bhfoirgneamh atá spreagtha ag cuair an dúlra. Múnlaíonn dhá thoirt chuartha an dearadh. Tá plean éilipseach ar an bpríomhthoirt ingearach a athraíonn i méid ag gach leibhéal agus ina bhfuil na seomraí. Tá an halla agus an caifitéire sa toirt chothrománach. Tá an t-óstán 54 méadar ar airde agus tá 19 urlár agus 52 seomra ann. Tacaíonn colún lárnach amháin sa chroí leis an struchtúr agus ceadaíonn sé radhairc oscailte. Clúdaíonn gloine chuartha an t-aghaidh iomlán.
