Design Development

* archaeological preservation, re-interpreting the architectural program of the -hotel typology- and making use of the modular building expertise made it possible to design a building

* The structure and above all, the points of the structure were adapted according to the specific nods on the site where archaeological layers were washed off by a former riverbed

* The building can be considered at four different layers; the first being an open-air museum parlor at a level closest to the findings, the second the common public areas of the hotel; the lobby and the restaurant hovering over a scenery of the archaeological findings

* The third level is a cluster of prefab modules of hotel rooms and an open-air circulation.

THE MUSEUM HOHEL

The 199-room hotel is erected on a site of archaeological findings dating back to antiquity. The Museum Hotel Antakya pays homage to the amazing mosaics, baths, piazzas discovered during the first drills of the site and draws on the tensioned relationship of Archaeology and Architecture by intertwining the ancient and the modern.
