Production Technology: Innovative Engineering structure
To materialize the sculptural shape of the building, with floor plans that vary in size, a very exceptional engineering structure was designed, with a unique central pillar in the core of the building. This enabled to benefit from uninterrupted incredible views.

Innovative Curved Glazing Facade
An essential aspect of the hotel is the Skin of the building.
As the essence of the sculptural shape is the curve, curved glasses were installed in the whole building.
Design Challenge: The main requirement for the design of the hotel had been to try to build an innovative architecture, with a singular and unique shape.

The client wanted to try to build a jewel. Therefore, the main objective and the main challenge was to create, to design, to conceive and then to develop an innovative design, an Architectural Jewel, an Icon.
The mission was, not only to design, but also to create an emotion on people, to surprise, to seduce, with both exterior and interior design.
Research: Don Majestic Hotel is a freestanding building located in the touristic city of Punta del Este, that try to stand out from its surroundings, by the proposal of a sculptural shape, by the proposal of an attractive and innovative design
Inspiration: In the Design of the Hotel, the main objective was to create a sculptural and unique architectural shape, an innovative design, an Icon. Looking for that moment when architecture transcend itself. Trying to express poetic in architecture.
Light and transparency, as a pure and curved shape, are main aspects of the project.
In Don Majestic Hotel, the main objetive and challenge was to design with poetic, with courage and with passion, the sculptural shape of a Punta del Este Architectural Icon.
Project Duration: The hotel is located in Punta del Este, Uruguay.
The project started in 2013 and finished in 2019
Operation Flow: The studio designed two curved Architectural volumes. The main volume is vertical, with an elliptical plan that varies in size at every level, with a symmetry in the middle of the building. This main volume holds all the rooms of the hotel and many amenities. The secondary volume is horizontal and holds the hall and the cafeteria.
It complements the main volume creating a balance between both volumes. The objective was to create a strong harmony in their aesthetics and between their forms.
