Heritage Meets Hospitality

The Adaptive Reuse Hotel Competition aims to inspire participants to creatively transform existing buildings into modern hotel spaces that honor their historical and architectural significance. By encouraging innovative design solutions, the competition seeks to demonstrate how adaptive reuse can enhance the character of a community while addressing contemporary hospitality needs. Participants are challenged to explore how the past can inform and enrich the present, crafting spaces that resonate with guests and reflect the local culture.

Central to this competition is the understanding that architecture is not merely about creating new structures, but also about reinterpreting and repurposing those that have already shaped our environments. Through this process, architects have the opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue with the past, allowing historical elements to coexist harmoniously with modern amenities and services. The resulting designs should not only preserve the narrative of the existing building but also contribute to a sustainable and vibrant urban landscape.
