REVOLVING DOOR SUPPORTS SUSTAINABLE HOTEL DESIGN

In keeping with an energy-saving, upscale design of the hotel, the architects specified a Boon Edam TQAautomatic revolving door at the main entrance. Operating in an “always open, yet always closed” mode,revolving doors are proven solutions that save energy and control interior climates while being easy forthe public to use. As a result of installing the revolving door at the entry, the hotel was able to lowerenergy consumption for heating by 65% and cooling by 90%, significantly reducing their energyexpenses.

DOOR DESIGN FITS INTO HOTEL’S AIRY, OPEN LOOK & FEEL

QO Amsterdam Hotel’s facade consists of floor-to-ceiling high windows to ensure outstanding spatialquality and a breathtaking view. In keeping with that look and feel, the architects requested that the TQArevolving door be customized with a glass ceiling to enhance the feeling of openness and allow naturallight to flow inside. All working parts and mechanisms of the door were installed in the floor to ensurethey were completely out of sight for a seamless, finished look.

QO Amsterdam is a unique lifestyle hotel with 288 rooms that was designed by a triad team ofarchitectural firms: Mulderblauw Architects, Paul de Ruiter Architects, and Arup. Their goal in designingthe hotel was to create a space that catered to the 21st century hotel guest who demands luxury andcomfort while leaving a minimal footprint on our planet. When the hotel was completed, it was one ofthe first hotels in Europe to be awarded the prestigious title of LEED Platinum Certified.
