The classicist appearance of the Hard Rock Hotel Budapest is given a contemporary touch by the special copper facade crowning the roof. The aim was to create a homogeneous front while providing an unobstructed view from inside. The designers provided a smart design solution to conflicting demands by creating capsule-shaped openings in the façade, optimised through parametric design.
During production, moulds cut out of the metal sheets were regarded as waste, but from a design point of view they meant reusable materials: they function as partition design elements in the rooms. Thus, the project highlights one of the burning issues of our time: sustainability, recycling of building elements and coexistence of architecture and design.
While the facade cladding was created with parametric design, the partition was constructed thanks to our design team's belief in the raison d'être of craftsmanship. This shows how the opportunities provided by high-tech technology and manufacture complement each other well even today.
The multi-awarded building is definitely a trend-setter in the Hungarian market from a sustainability point of view, raising the question of the use of waste.
