PRISm
Prism brings landscape-inspired experimentation to the countryside in the form of an iconic luxury hotel. Meant as an homage to the natural rock formations of the American interior, the structure is composed of a single ribbon intersecting itself as a spiral without curves, creating a series of intersecting prismatic volumes like layers of sedimentary rock.
Influenced by our previous research in non-curved spiral designs, the structure is wrapped in a patterned, permeable zinc skin reflecting the surrounding city and desert hills. Filtered light floods an enormous atrium as well as a double-storied lobby, restaurant, and spa. The roof features a bar and swimming pool suspended over the atrium so that diners at the club level have a view of the pool through opaque glass.
Prism was designed by Lev Libeskind and his studio in Italy.
