The restructuring of the historic building complex on the islands of Venice creates opportunities and shapes for luxury accommodation. The architectural design blends the historic roots and the aesthetics of the industrial area with the new spatial and environmental qualities of the development. The building uses reinforced concrete and polished steel, while the hotel’s interiors are characterized by a careful attention to detail. Using contemporary technologies and materials, the structural and architectural characteristics of the facade are maintained by integrating surface gaps that represent fragments of the area’s past in the new building.
