Concept Development
PROBLEM STATEMENT This project consists of a four story boutique hotel in the city of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil with a square footage of 36,000. The developer wants to design a unique hospitality experience, while maintaining its high-end luxury status. Sustainable efforts will address the environmental issues within Rio’s city, state and country. The hotel will be designed for both national and international tourists that are interested in a five star hotel and dining experience.
THESIS STATEMENT This thesis will focus on LEED and WELL standards throughout the design process to support a healthier experience for the individual and for the city of Rio de Janeiro. It will implement wellness ideologies into its guests, promoting long term health.
CONCEPT STATEMENT The inspiration for this project is the coast of Rio de Janeiro. Located in the Guananbara Bay, Rio is the second most populated city in Brazil and holds the majority of the countries history. The experience of the city is defined by its coastline, creating unique landforms that shape its urban planning. Brazil prioritizes maintaining its extraordinary land with strict laws that prohibit demolishing it to build developments. Instead, it is meant to work with the land that is there, creating a unique city experience that is surrounded by a coast with views of Rio’s beaches and mountains. The coast has shaped Rio’s profiles through the waters currents meeting at the shore. The forms that the water has created throughought the coastal city are thus irregular and layered. The mountains valleys are filled with the industrial city that lines the coasts organic form where the linear manmade elements of the city are forced to follow nature. The design of this boutique hotel will be inspired by the layered views and forms created as a result of the coast. The site is located on the coastline and will use the layering element of the ocean and the land to reinforce the locals experience to the tourist.

BUILDING ANALYSIS
Concept The tan spaces represent the land and the blue represent the ocean. Where they meet, the coast forms an irregular and layered slope. The angled wall will gradually incorporate more social spaces into the floor plans. The straight wall will support fixed areas like the lobby, offices, guest rooms, etc.
Scale The atrium extends throughout the entire building, reaching the rooftop at a skylight. This skylight will fluctuate the lighting in the space depending on the time of day. Each floor’s ceiling height has a maximum of 11 feet.
9
Atrium The atriums shape has a chiseled off corner to further represent the irregular and jaggged slope of a coast. As the atrium becomes smaller with the angled wall, the flooring becomes less jaggged.

LEVEL 1 : RECEPTION Upon entry the guest is greeted at the reception desk. The ceiling drops down here dramatically from the nearby atrium to control acoustics and give privacy to the guest and employee. This space is used for check-in’s, customer service and temporary seating.
**WELL Building: Control acoustic comfort for the individuals in a variety of experiences
28
LEVEL 1 : BAR LOUNGE The bar lounge is the center of the building. Above this space is the atrium, reaching to the skylight. Natural daylight is let in, fluctating the lighting depending on the time of day. This supports the guests circadian rhythm. This space is used for quick meals and temporary seating. The ceiling elements create different scales within the space through a jagged slope - representing a layered coast.
**LEED ID+C v4.1 - Hospitality: Reduce lighting power density **WELL Building: Promote exposure to light and create lighting environments that promote visual, mental and biological health
30
LEVEL 2-4 : GUEST ROOMS There are four variations of guest rooms. To the left is the Single Guest Suite. This includes a queen bed, shower and double sinks. This room is available in ADA format on the third level. The rooms provide dimmable lighting and thermostats for the guests comfort. The rooms key card must activate the lights to reduce energy usage when not in the room. The thermostats will be digital since they are smaller and less noise producing. These can be programmed to control certain temperatures depending on the climate and humidity. The thermostat will also be able to detect when windows are open and will shut off to reduce energy usage. The walls have an Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of 60 to ensure privacy for the guests.
**LEED ID+C v4.1 - Hospitality: Improve indoor air quality providing control over lighting, and improved HVAC system **WELL Building: Control acoustic comfort for the individuals in a variety of experiences **WELL Building: Achieve high levels of indoor air quality including control over temperature

LEVEL 2-4 : GUEST ROOMS To the right is the Deluxe Guest Suite. This is the largest room available, including two queen beds, a shower, bath tub, double sinks, and a living area. Each water fixture in the building is WaterSense and ENERGY STAR labeled and reduces water usage by 20%.
33
*LEED ID+C v4.1 - Hospitality: WaterSense and ENERGY STAR labeled water fixtures and water is reduced by 20% from baseline level **WELL Building: Supports healthy, safe water for the individual and the building
LEVEL 4 : RESTAURANT The restaurant on the fourth floor serves as a dayto-night entertainment space. The glass slanted wall transitions into the skylight, letting in daylight and fluctuating the lighting in the space depending on the time of day. This creates a light and airy space during the day and a darker, more intimate space at night. Allowing for the sun to contribute to lighting will reduce the lighting power density of the building.

LEVEL 5 : ROOFTOP BAR The rooftop bar serves as a casual dining setting with views of the city and the coast. This space includes a bar, firepits, lounge seating and a patio for sunbathing. The skylight connects this level to the rest of the building and brings attention to this space.

MATERIALS The materials used are inspired by the coastal landscape and culture of Brazil. The layering of the water with the land along Rio de Janeiro is represented in multiple materials with textured stones and concrete - all locally sourced. Brazillian interiors tend to blur inside and the outside with lots of local wood and greenery, inspiring the natural materials brought into the space. A major part of Brazil’s culture is ceramics and mosaics. Their bright colors and smooth texture contrast with the neutral toned, rough natural materials like how the ocean and sand counteract each other. Blues are used throughout to represent the bright water of the Guananbara Bay.
