BUSTAN HOTEL

As part of the southern walls of the old city, near the Land gate and between Salah ad-Din street and the Horses beach, a boutique hotel is designed with its lower part dug as part of the wall. Its upper part, with its three floors, is on top of the wall.

 

The hotel that is to be built will replace the movie theater "The Bustan" that existed on top of the wall since the 60's and was demolished. The hotel will include 45 specially newly designed rooms. Five of which are suites. The dug part, inside the wall, will include a bath-house, a pool and a spa. It is alsomeant to have capsule lodgings.

The main architectural concept lays within the section "new upon and inside the old":


- A vertical connection of historic layers.
- The section of the building as a "ship's frame" that is made of three "ships".
like a basilica and a ship.
- Use of natural light, coming in from the roof all the way to the bottom at the dug part inside the wall.

Our work is a continuation to the survey that was produced by the Israel Antiquities Authority and of the urban building scheme made by the architect Ari Avrahami.
