Dutch architects MVRDV have teamed up with design company Kloos2 to design a ‘greenhouse hotel’.
The greenhouse will be filled with fresh flowers and the hotel will be located at Aalsmeer the flower capital of The Netherlands if not the World! The Flowerbed Hotel is still in the planning stages but will include 280 rooms set in this giant glasshouse.
The hotel will include all the usual features – guest rooms, a conference centre and spas as well as 6,800 square feet of flower beds! These will be planted on every level of the hotel to create a public flower garden that guests can enjoy year round.
The lobby area will of course welcome guests who are not staying at the hotel as well as those who are. The hotel will also feature a number of green walls which as eFIG knows are such a growing trend that they will soon become commonplace. The green walls will provide fresh air and help to control temperatures – so these green walls will really be put to work not just a nod towards what we know the plants can do.
Roofs and terraces will include photovoltaic panels to collect solar energy for use throughout the hotel complex. Renewable energy in the form of power supplied by Windmills will also be used. Holland going back to its roots!
The Flower Hotel will be built soon as a complementary feature to the planned Bloomin’ Holland theme park.
