SoHo Hotel - The Soho hotel is located on a triangular site on the edge of Soho, NYC, with great views in 4 directions. The Double Skin of the building morphs:  it creates privacy for the hotel rooms, transparency for the community spaces at ground level,  the spectacular 2nd-floor hotel lobby accessed by escalators from below, and double height the sky lobby with bar and pool. The building features a "drive-through" drop off for the hotel from 6th avenue.

This project goes along with our investigations into New Solids; here, a Double Solid. No longer minimal, light and thin, but full-bodied, soft, glowing and sometimes transformative, these solids give us comfort, ground us, and wrap us in a soft embrace. The building's double skin promotes easy maintenance, acoustic insulation,  and low energy use. Its overall shape, a recognizable form, creates an identity, and character to the hotel, morphing from the triangular site up, to form an Icon for the city.
