Considering the site potential above, and its contribution towards urban characterdevelopment, the design approach for the Morrissey Hotel by Aboday pushes the limitbeyond merely business hotel that hardly pay attention to issues other than pragmatism. Inthe long run it tries to inject a seed of change that will reconstruct the surrounding area. Inshort, it tries to deconstruct the concept of a three­star business hotel. More images andarchitects’ description after the break.

The proposed development is placed on a unique urban fabric, that flanked on four sides bydifferent characteristic. The organic shape plot of land, start from the junction of WahidHasyim Road on the Southern side­ as the main thoroughfare that connects CBD areaalong Thamrin road to Government precinct of old Mentend District – and Jalan Jaksa onthe Eastern side, a small road which is homes to backpackers that has been placed underpreservation. At the Northern side, the site is bordered by a lane that connects Jalan Jaksaand Kebon Sirih Timur on the Western Side. These sides populated by 2 storey residentialbuildings. Of 1.2 Ha, the service apartment covers only 30% area.

The building comprises of 2 rectangular blocks on juxtaposing manner and a separate BOHbuilding. The facade of each is manipulated base on its function specific. The 5 storeylower block is made into cantilever, hovering about 20m long 7m above the ground toprovide openness at the welcoming point, enable visitor to seek better orientation upon

entering the complex, thus glancing towards the apartment lobby, and an office buildingtowards the end, while the 10 storey higher block comes with a quad volume sky gardenopening that frames east­west orientation vista and allow cross ventilation.

The lower block span over 40m long facing Wahid Hasyim Road is projected to be morelife style centric that promotes full height glass window, in contrast to the solidness ofhigher block. The first 2 storey character is made into pedestrian friendly. An F&B anchorwith 7.5M high door panels that slide and fold over 24m long will govern the facade. As theF&B level raised up by 1.2M, a series of tilted mirror behind the double volume door panelwill provide reflection of F&B activities to those passer by, while keeping the privacy intact.

13 nos of Maisonette room facing Wahid Hasyim Road, a new to the operator standard, isadded to underscore its life style attitude, which automatically regulates the facade withdouble volume glass that intertwine with typical studio facade grammar. This is a differentsetting to the north facing configuration that mostly studio unit. To complete the lowerblock drama, the roof top is proposed to be an event space, that comes with infinity pool,gym and another F&B. A thematic lift will encompass typical floor to bring visitor right up tothe roof top from the ground.

On the other block, a contrast of transparency is demonstrated between the first two storeythat housing the grand lobby and business center where visitor is invited to have a fullcommanding view of grand lobby, to the rest of higher floors above where the whole facadeis assembled by 1.2m x 2.8m modular room’s window in fractal fashion. To accentuatethis, the surface projected out to create a multi­faceted facade that wrap 360º underlining

its solidness.

The whole blocks then is laid onto a modern landscape canvas that draw its character fromthe multi faceted form. Ground is shaped up with natural stone pallete of material andturfing. Pine trees will be standing along the drop off point, and rain trees will be planted atthe selected location. In whole, a densely populated garden at the center will provide muchneeded green sanctuary for the visitor.
