HOTEL TERRITORIAL

Territorial is a single occupancy hotel partnered with its neighbor Hotel Providence. Territorial is designed to be a boutique alternative to the more traditional Hotel Providence. It is a Single Occupancy Hotel, where one guest (and their invited) can have complete or partial reign over the hotel’s bar, spa, and pool. Unless reserved, the pool/spa and bar would remain open to the public. If the guest wants total privacy they would need to reserve the entire building.

PROGRAM

Basement: A Cocktail Bar
Second Floor: Lap Pool/ Small Spa

DESIGN

The rear of the building extends its boundaries with an angled sweep towards Hotel Providence and opening up to the Arnold building across the street. This expands its square footage and creates a dialog with its partner, Hotel Providence. On top of the building is a larger skylight angled upward with retractable glass panes exposing the pool and the bedroom to air, light, and the skies above. The exterior wall has a grass moat in the rear and benches to be the smoking area. The floor levels have all been altered, opening up the ceiling height, creating greater spatial illusions. The interior plays with changing boundaries all intruding upon the space of another. The lap pool is made entirely of clear plexiglass and invades the private space of the suite and offers views all the way to the basement hotel bar. Each floor is visible to the other.
