CitizenM Hotel by Concrete

Looking into more depth on  researching different keywords towards the exploration of my study, is finally getting closer to what I want, and need as a backup to approve the en-roots for my cultivation.

A hotel in Schiphol Airport, has been designed by a company called Concrete. This hotel is made with prefabricated room modules in CitizenM's own factory, it caters for 230 rooms with a 14sq.m net area. It is dedicated to customers that are looking for a luxury feel with a reasonable price during a city or business trip.

The concept of the hotel was to cut out all hidden costs and remove all unnecessary items. The rooms are configured with stacked shipping containers, which they have formed the hotel. These consist of a dynamic lobby included with a living room space, other rooms that are designed to be with a bed and a bathroom only, and another zone was designed to be with food and beverage self-service function. (Kryzowski, 2008)

The choice of including this project in my blog is by reason of, that the construction planning/zones and customer self-service is closely related to my intended thesis project that I would like to add in.

Designing an accommodation that is stylish, centrally located, friendly with the technology that it has installed and reasonable at its price, I think that it is very reliable and conventional for whoever is looking for their intended stay.

Looking at the customers that have experienced their stay in the CitizenM hotel, the majority commented positive, regarding the location, design, price wise, experience and its general characteristics. Meanwhile, the few who have commented negative were reasons that relied on the aesthetics and room temperature.
