Designs by OMA for an approximately 300-foot-tall, 650-room hotel in Amsterdamāpoised to be the Netherlandās largest hotelāhave been released.
According to ArchDaily, OMAās design was chosen ahead of eleven firms. Once completed, and if approved, the structure will add three stacked cubes to the Amsterdam skyline.
In addition to the Nhow Hotel Rai, the buildingās main occupant, the project will also have a television studio, art gallery, spa center, sculpture garden, a multimedia presentation space, a lounge and bar on the 25th floor, and something that developers call a ā3D holographic meeting space.ā
The designs were unveiled after the projectās 15-year brainstorm process. Before OMAās recently released design, a larger 800-room scheme was rejected by the city a few years ago.
