Fergus Bahia Palmanova

The hotel to which this project refers is located in first sea line in Palmanova, Mallorca.

It was an uninteresting building that dates from the 70s and has undergone various reburbishments in different areas . The aim was to upgrade and adapt it to the current demand of the hotel market.

Originally the 2916 m2 plot housed five buildings, the central one and the secondary constructions, what gave a fragmented and not very functional image to the complex.

The project proposes to dispense the secondary buildings in order to offer a cleaner and updated layout and give a higher perception of quality 

Once these buildings have been demolished, two main actions were carried out.

A complete refurbishment of the existing building, highlighting the original disused terrace with the creation of two new swimming pools. That generated a platform that takes advantage of the privileged environment and frees up the public space. Through the creation of porches and a patio the relation between public and private areas were improved, generating a transition space between both zones.

And on the other hand, the construction of a new five-storey building, incorporating 40 new , larger rooms with sea view.

The rooms on the ground floor were designed with a swim-up pool and those on the fourth floor  with a solarium and jacuzzi on the roof. The building opens up to the south-east orientation, where the best views are located and turn its back to the north-facing to the service entrance, where a small outdoor parking place with 10 slots has been introduced.

In addition the common and services areas were adapted and improved to adjust to the new capacity of the hotel.

The wooden slats applied in the main façade were also used in the annex building to integrate the design and to achieve a sense of unity.

The result, in a reduced plot for this type of construction, we got a urban benchmark hotel with a wide-range of quality services making it operational throughout the year.
