Styling
Colour identity
The sails of the Veni-Vidi hotel determine the exterior- and interiorview. People compare it with a sea anemone or a lampion. All sails of the spheres have a different colour, which gives everyone of them an unique identity. Identity is needed, especially if the spheres want to be used as houses or as offices in the future. I think it's interesting to see small buildings spread over the rdm-area, because they float like water candles between other projects. Adding colour and happiness.
Collapsable wall

Because the hotelrooms have a collapsable wall, that is entirely removable, the hotel can be turned into a more open-plan-building. The building can be used for big expositions or a larger office in this way (click on right image). The wall can be partly opened or closed easily (can be changed in just , because of the simple mounting system. The wall has the same diamond-honeylike appearance, just like the facade.
Moving slabs
Almost 70 percent of all the slabs can move up and down. When the slabs are down, the perception of the room gets bigger, and this contributes to the esthetic effect of the sails. Another reason for these moving slabs is the increase of floorcapacity when needed (click on the middle image to see an office underneath the slabs). When all building are clustered, there is also an ability to form one big stair with the slabs.
Framing
The building has a rounded glass ceiling, so more of the interesting parametric RDM-site is visible. The shower of the hotelroom has a skylight, so the stars can be seen from out of the hotelroom and the shower.
Lights and door
The lights are designed within the closed diamond-shaped facadepanels. I implemented them on the closed facade panels, to give the facade an extra look, from the inside and outside. It's also smart to have lights fixated in a building that can change form easily. If not, the building can get messy with wires. I chose to express the same shape of the facade in the collapsable wall. But the collapsable wall has closed panels in the honeyshaped panels and a highly reflective material in the diamondshaped panel. This is the reverse of the facade.
