The project involves the construction of a hotel between Central Station and the city of Wolfsburg. The

existing road system of the 1930ies city of Wolfsburg defined the parameters of this urban development.

It incorporates a semi-public glass lobby and cantilevered hotel floors. The U-shaped block opens up to

the side of the building. It provides space for a three-star hotel with 200 rooms, restaurant, SPA area and

conference space with a ballroom. A cafeÅL facing the station completes the program of the facility.

The lobby in the spacious glass hall of the hotel, the restaurant and the conference area will be accessed

via a pedestrian walkway and a side driveway. A garage with approximately 75 parking spaces is located

in the basement, connected to the other nearby underground car parks. The delivery of the hotel is

managed via a lateral side road. The building is clad with prefabricated glass, which provides individually

operable floor-to-ceiling windows in each room. The elements are made from highly insulated

construction glass panels in colour.
