The Sea view Hotel

Client: Seaview Hotel, East Preston BN16

Project Overview:

The Seaview Hotel in East Preston, a beloved seaside establishment with a rich history, approached our team as we they were looking for architects in Worthing with a vision to expand and enhance their property by adding eight additional rooms on the second floor. The objective was to seamlessly integrate this expansion with the existing structure while preserving the hotel's unique coastal charm and offering guests breath taking food and atmosphere and since they have opened they have established themselves as the best restaurant in east Preston.

Challenges:

  1. Preserving Coastal Charm: The Seaview Hotel is known for its picturesque coastal location and timeless charm. Our challenge was to design an expansion that not only met the client's needs but also retained the hotel's character and ambiance.

  2. Optimizing Sea Views: Given the stunning seafront location, maximizing sea views from the new rooms was a top priority.

  3. Sustainability: The client desired an environmentally responsible design that aligned with Worthing's commitment to sustainability.

Our Approach:

1. Coastal Aesthetics:

We meticulously analysed the existing architectural elements that defined the Seaview Hotel's charm, such as its traditional façade and coastal colour palette. We incorporated design elements like scooped Mediterranean style balconies, shiplap siding, and large curved windows to maintain and enhance the coastal aesthetics.

2. Panoramic Views:

To optimize sea views, we designed each new room with large, floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies. These elements provided guests with unobstructed vistas of the East Preston coastline, allowing them to connect with the serene surroundings.

3. Sustainability:

In line with out commitment to sustainability, we integrated eco-friendly features into the design. Solar panels were installed on the roof to harness renewable energy, and low-energy consumption fixtures and insulation materials were used to reduce the hotel's environmental footprint.
