The architect Margot Krasojevic is interested in developing a sort of hotel that goes beyond providing services to tourists and instead makes a contribution to the environment in its immediate vicinity by generating clean energy that can be reused. The concept of a hotel that is inspired by rock pools and tidal power is presently being worked on by ar. margot krasojevic. The hotel would be designed to dip into the water just enough to collect the tide, while also being able to swing in the current. When the tide is high, some areas of the beach hotel are submerged, creating an atmosphere that is similar to that of surfing. Margot has been consciously dictating the terms of architectural design criteria rather than referring to sustainable technology as a polite afterthought in her ongoing pursuit of developing a dialogue between architectural form, geometry, sustainability, and smart materials as an inherent part of the design process. This is part of her ongoing quest to develop a dialogue between these elements. Her studio’s research and design approach has always been focused on renewable energy and how to maximize the cooperation between program, typology, and architecture. This has been the case from the beginning. She has been persistently using architecture as a medium through which to investigate the alteration of the environment and the use of renewable energy sources. The harmonic turbine hotel in Wenchang Shi, which is located on Yalong Bay, on the island of Hainan in the South China Seas, is both an energy plant and a wellness facility. All of the technology and building materials are fabricated from environmentally clean materials. This is her most recent project. While the hotel is situated along the shoreline of the bay, it is surrounded by protected places as well as specific portions that are high-energy spots that are exposed to heavy waves and winds. Tidal energy is used to create power by the hotel building, which is partially anchored to the rock along the shoreline using partially exposed open foundations. The hotel building’s components spiral into the substructure, and they move softly with the tide. The major objective is to integrate the design and programming of the hotel with renewable energy sources via the use of industrial and mechanical turbine engineering. As a result, it is outfitted with revolving water turbines that are partially buried in the sand and partially exposed to the South China Sea. The water from the sea washes over the turbines, which then react to the tidal waves. This creates a sustainable infrastructure that is incorporated into the design of the hotel. A series of routes that wind their way into and around the hotel are followed by pipe water turbines. Guests are provided with enclosures that are similar to rock pool bays because to the configuration of these tidal turbines, which is designed to simulate natural tidal sand ripples. In all, the hotel is made up of two steel-framed aluminum-clad sections that interlock with one another. Similar to the hull of a boat, these components are not only fragile enough to sway gently with the tide, but they are also sturdy enough to prevent them from breaking. The main entry platform may be reached by steps and a ramp that leads to the turbine hotel’s foyer or guestrooms via an entrance hatch. The entrance hatch lowers into the observation chamber that is half submerged and connects to the thirty spa bedrooms that are ensuite. As the tide rises, waves smash against the room windows, and water turbine rock pools form private guest pools. Each bedroom is equipped with a privacy glass-clad panel, which gives the impression to guests that they are within a submarine that is partially submerged. The objective here is to rethink the hotel typology by using renewable energy sources in order to provide an atmosphere that is more sustainable. This is the last of three tidal projects that will use the project brief to further emphasize the significance of inter-disciplinary conversation across the fields of architecture, engineering, industrial design, and renewable energy.
