This is a design proposal for a beach hotel on Samsø, Sælvig Beach hotel. The project
has used the Integrated Design Process with Generators that have steered the process
through the rapport. The rapport goes through the process behind and how the group
have justified the different decisions that have led to the final design. The rapport has
investigated the framing for the report through Sustainable and Gastronomic Tourism together
with the understanding of the site. The site is also analysed through the microclimate
and terrain of the site together with the biodiversity of the context. Case studies of
Svinkløv Badehotel and Noma 2.0 have given the group an understanding of functions
and elements of staging that can be taken further into the design.
This has led to the design of Sælvig Beach hotel, which has transformed the old concrete
factory into an classy hotel. The hotel is a small local grown-up hotel that focuses on
giving the guest a memorable experience of Samsø through the food and activities, and
also through the hotel’s placement and material choices well as the view of all directions
that showcase the nature and landscape of Samsø.
