SPECIAL FEATURE: HOTEL ACTA MIMIC
Looking back over history, it turns out that in a street very close to Paral.lel, but well within the maze of streets known as the Raval, and particularly known as “Barrio Chino”, there once stood a lofty theatre. This building, greatly frequented by the public, has made it this far in the form of a decrepit ruin that now spends its days precariously propping up a facade and the occasional, and by-now forgotten wall. Not completely unexpectedly, its apparent uselessness, immorality or problem, has been seen as the opportunity to build a new hotel which is not clear whether it is supposed to entice or house the tourists, necessary or inevitable, that arrive in the city of Barcelona.

CANVIAR EL MODEL DE NEGOCI PER APROPAR-SE AL CLIENT
Els ponents de la jornada van estar d’acord que la innovació és necessària a l’empresa, però van dir que perquè sigui efectiva ha de ser un procés relaxant
El model de negoci és clau i cal redefinir-lo constantment per transformar l’empresa, segons va assegurar Toni Flores, CEO de Loop Business Innovation, en la sessió d’innovació i transformació. Per Flores el millor mètode per transformar una empresa “és l’actitud positiva cap al canvi”, i va afirmar que a vegades cal entrar en una zona “d’inseguretat o incompetència juntament amb els equips per assegurar la transformació”. “La innovació pot néixer de l’espontaneïtat, però a l’empresa sempre volem que estigui estructurada”, va dir.
En aquest mateix sentit es va pronunciar Xavier Claramunt, fundador d’Equip Claramunt, que va assegurar que la innovació és necessària, però per ser efectiva ha de ser “un procés relaxat”. Continue reading

NEW & SPOT: HOTEL ACTA MIMIC
The decision was taken to preserve a historic facade, despite the fact that it is not officially protected, and to insert the building between it and the party wall of the adjacent building. The aim of the huge wrap covering the facade is for the building’s appearance to change during the day both from inside the rooms and from the street, while lighting conditions also vary on the inside and on the outside. It is a commitment to integration with the variety of the surrounding buildings. The public areas in the building, below street level, are treated heterogeneously to generate cosy corners and different ambiences. A variety of forms, colours and furniture is offered, as an extension of the street-level dynamism that is not actually within sight. And on the contrary, the rooms are imbued with sobriety to make for easy adaptation to the tourist’s decisions. From the inside of the room a direct visual relationship is established with the street through the shower area, located on the facade, and the huge wrap which, with the help of vinyl, protects it from the eyes of the street.

URBAN LEGEND
Combining street art, an edgy palette and furniture from Ikea, EQUIP turned Barcelona’s HOTEL MIMIC into the talk of the town.
Colour, claims Spanish designer Xavier Claramunt, is an excellent way to conceal cheap workmanship. He makes this honest observation in the lounge of the Hotel Mimic, one of the more talked-about new arrivals on Barcelona’s already eclectic hotel scene. Claramunt has described the building – a reflection of this part of the city’s hipster vibe – as ‘outrageous’ and ‘exhibitionist’. Continue reading

HOTEL HOSPES MARICEL: L’UNICITÀ DEL MEDITERRANEO SULL’ISOLA DI MAIORCA
E’ firmato dallo studio d’architettura Xavier Claramunt l’intervento di ristrutturazione ed ampliamento dello storico Maricel Hotel, trasformato nel nuovo Hotel Hospes. “Durante le diverse fasi di ristrutturazione ed ampliamento dell’hotel, abbiamo cercato di riprendere il bellissimo scenario originale del sito. In prima istanza abbiamo provato a evidenziare che un tempo era il mare ad occupare l’area d’intervento. Successivamente, attraverso la realizzazione dei nuovi volumi, abbiamo voluto integrare, recuperandoli, alberi e muretti a secco, importanti elementi nella storia ambientale di Maiorca“ , spiegano i progettisti.

HOTEL&RESORT: HOTEL ACTA MIMIC
The city still puts on quite a show. Struggling insolently with the prevailing imperative of sobriety and economy of resources, we are presenting an outrageous and exhibitionist building.
Looking back over history, it turns out that in a street very close to Parallel, but well within the maze of streets known as the Raval, and particularly known as ‘Barrio Chino’, there once stood a lofty theater. This building has been seen as the opportunity to build a new hotel that arrive in the city of Barcelona. Continue reading
