Ibiza, December 9th (Toga Media).- Architecture, Engineering and Design office from Ibiza, Estudio Vila 13, won the Architecture prize at the European Hotel Design Awards for their reconversion project of the leading Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel. This hotel complex has perfectly integrated two obsolete buildings to create Ushuaïa Club and Ushuaïa Tower. This “magic place is run under a unique and surprising philosophy that has merged with a fantastic open-air entertainment area while offering extremely sophisticated rooms”, according to project director Jordi Carreño.
The judges of this prestigious architecture award said the architects’ “had a great vision in pulling various dated buildings together into a grand masterplan of entertainment”. Also, they highlighted that “the risk taking and daring concept has resulted in a property that is said to have changed the landscape of Ibiza forever, with an amazing poolside stage, and the soaring Ushuaïa Tower offering panoramic views of the coastline”.
Located in Ibiza, the hotel designed by the Ibizan architecture office, welcomes its guests at the entrance displaying an impressive red carpet that leads them straight to the hotel’s main attraction: the swimming pool. The elements that trigger surprise and focus on the unexpected are essential to this complex; whether it is a flock of birds crossing a corridor, an ants invasion in the hall or enjoying a concert from your room’s jacuzzi.
“When we sat down to plan what this hotel would be like we wanted to show our love for the island and its nature through the carpets, corridors and even the elements separating the bedroom area from the bathroom, for example. Balconies, terraces and swimming pools are full with lush nature and its curved shape provides the organic touch we were looking for”, says Carreño.
The hotel boasts a spectacular stage in the pool area where guests can enjoy live music performances. “We wanted to play with the island’s famous white tones and with the concept of this hotel becoming a colony. That is why we decided to mix flamingos and ants sculptures and decorations within an eclectic and cosmopolitan hotel that perfectly merges with the island vibes, its sea and its breathtaking sunsets with music right at the centre of this experience”.
This is the first time a firm from Ibiza wins this coveted award, that only a few architecture offices in Spain have won so far, which acknowledges the work of the studio who brought to life the original idea by Grupo Empresas Matutes to create one of the world’s leading hotels.

An installation of birds can be found that cross the corridor, an invasion of ants in the lobby, jacuzzis to see a concert. Every year the hotel renews its clothes trying to surprise the client still more. The love of the island by the nature invades the hotel in form of flowers in fiber in the. The nature enters the hotel in carpets, decoration of corridors and separator bath-bedroom in the rooms. The client remembers the nature at any moment.
The patios, terraces and swimming pool are decorated with alive nature (aromatic plants, palms trees, plants that in the skylights, …). The right angle is broken taking place to the curve, to the organic form. The old hotel is invaded by the Ushuaïa concept. Wood, stone, plastic, Budhas, Shivas, colors, mix the styles of the island with more others exotic styles.

The Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel : Styled for the summer with facades and features in DuPont™ Corian®
June 2012 – The Ushuaïa Ibiza Beach Hotel welcomed the famous island’s season with a memorable opening party on the 26th of May – and participating dynamically in the celebrations was a new façade and design features made from DuPont™ Corian®.

The visitor’s first impression of the revamped Ushuaïa Hotel is one of chic modernity. The façade of the main entrance is particularly effective as it is backlit to maximize the translucent characteristics of DuPont™ Corian®. For this application, architects Estudio Vila 13 needed a material that would stand the test of time with enduring elegance.
It was important that the chosen material was easy to maintain, would keep its colour and finish intact and also achieve an ethereal luminosity. DuPont™ Corian® was the answer to all those challenges. With the backlight cube effect made in the translucent Glacier Ice colour for Corian®, the effect achieved is impressively atmospheric.
