Central Park Tablet Hotel
Central Park as Muse (updates inspired by the concept of Google offices... )

Solution

Imagine Central Park ... with well-known spirit, the energy that connects people and relocate them from everyday life into an oasis of peace and greenery... now imagine a Central park as a Tablet Hotel foyer...

In the Central park people take off their expensive shoes with high heels, take away tie, sit on the grass in their unpriced suit, read newspapers or books, playing with children... somehow disappear differences that separate people.

If we could apply these values ??to the hotel, I'm sure it would have been highly visited by both locals and tourists.

To make this place a second home you need to find something in it well known to you ... that brings me to the next ...


To join the �club� you  need to bring an old piece of furniture (old coffee cup, long time used sofa...) , when you first enter. This way the hotel encourages recycling because these pieces will be recycled in art workshop, also  placed in  this hotel, and then used again in the hotel ... so, if your wife , father or boyfriend complain about your favorite old chair,  find shelter for it, where you can always visit your  restored armchair ...

Tourists can give something symbolic like book they read on the plane.

Updates inspired by the concept of Google offices. 

Place for everyone ... business people, parents with children, students, retirees, ...

Idea is that everyone feels comfortable the moment they enter the hotel ...

Hotel relation to the environment (the neighboring buildings, roads, ...) would look like the invasion of greenery, on what would be crazy to have the complaint.

Uhm. Yes cool idea, could function in a perfect world. But regarding feasibility, I don't think that any public space such as central park would allow it to exploit the whole park.

Thanks for your comments ... in fact Central park was only my inspiration, with its form, its spirit and purpose. The idea is to 'clone' such a space, in this case, in the lobby of a hotel, to make it functional, sustainable and safe. Thanks, Jvanboxtel!

This is a nice thought behind your idea. But I also wonder if this would work. Imagine that busy people travelling might not think about bringing something, because they have little time and their mind full of other things. Maybe you can keep that thought but develop it into another direction? The setting is very nice! :)

Thank you very much for your comments, Platina! Certainly there is truth in that busy people who travel probably will not have in mind to bring something to the hotel, so I left as a possibility for tourists to give something symbolic like book they read on the plane or ticket for recycling workshop or only to bring good mood from the places where they come from. The main idea is to integrate the nature and architecture, with an emphasis on nature conservation through greening and recycling. Also with a wide range of activities that can be offered to customers. Thanks again :)

Nice concept, but not really sure NYC would let you build in the park. Also, isn't there a road in between? But otherwise, I really like the way people would bring bits of their homes and lives into the place. It would make it a really lovely place to stay.
