Concept

Sailing around the world this floating hotel provides a green environment to its destinations.

Greening Locations

In order to turn the grey building into an appealing location, Good Hotel received a green upgrade. A variety of locations are turned into lush terraces and ‘breathing’ facades that mitigate the temperature and improve the air quality of the city.

Design

The planting plan consists out of robust, evergreen and flowering planting that are able to survive an oversees trip. Also it is made sure the planting provides food and places for a short stay for birds and insects throughout the seasons

Construction

The renovation process took place in Amsterdam, where the outside and inside spaces were transformed at ones, right in time to cross ’the pond’ in late autumn weather.
