of Jar dins in Sao Paulo, the dazzling building rises like a gracious ocean- liner from a sea of dry-dock. A kind of urban artwork, the sculptural modern architecture and overall originality de- signed by Ruy Ohtake and Joćo Armen- tano certainly make the Unique one of a kind. Dramatic 24-metre high hollows and corridors in the interior define the curved design that is continued inside the rooms, where there are no right an- gles at all. purple, dark blue and green placed right in the middle of the guestrooms ensures guests that the hotel stays true to its name in the private areas as well. However the curved walls and the port- hole windows may not be for everyone, the experience truly lives up to the hotels name. www.designhotels.com/unique |
