"MELT in Palanga"
Abstract
Architektai: leva Marcinonytė, Milda Rekevičienė, Lukas Rekevičius, Monika Augaitytė, Rūta Stankevičiūtė, Guoda Bardauskaitė. Vieta: Palanga; Plotas: 620 m2; Statybos metai: 2017; Fotografijos: Norbert Tukaj After being rebuilt, the burnt-down building retained its previous height, roof indine and volumetric configuration, while the patt of it situated along the street is a whole metre lower than its former version. External staircases divide the L-shaped building into three parts, adding light pauses at the junctions of volumes. Such distancing is not only functional and pragmatic but also acts as a stabilising component in the composition. And even inside the building, there is a mezzanine, working to add a small barrier against the busy street and adding to the idea of distancing. The fairly dense pillar nerwork and the wooden decorative motif repeated in the main facade are both recognisable marks. Reserved in its colours from the outside, the building may surprise some with its unexpected interior solutions. Even the name of the hotel. Melt in Palanga, is sending out a clear message: you can expect heat, and you will definitely find it here. The team of New! ad agency who came up with the name, presented the architects with the task of reflecting this slogan. In this case, the authors d id not hesitate and added a single bright colour into each of the minimalist interiors.
