Hotel Morland, Paris, France

A striking example of the sensitive integration of contemporary architecture in the historical fabric of the City

Because of the existing situation and the height of the existing administration building of Morland, the Hotel can be the only “high rise building” in the entire Maris giving spectacular views on the historical Paris.

The hotel Morland will have a mix of contemporary architecture for the extension and respectful conservation of the existing building including some of its important art installation.

This spectacular reuse of the historical building of Morland will give to Paris, on the seine river bank, one of the most striking example of the sensitive integration of contemporary architecture in the historical fabric of the City.

The hotel Morland as this major beneficiary of the coming urban revitalization of the East of the Marais. The Hotel Morland can play its role by revitalizing in a spectacular fashion the river bank and the Quay Henry IV. Most importantly at this stage, the hotel Morland can finally be the major beneficiary of this urban revitalization of the East of the Marais.
