Hotel Information: Obviously the most influential factor in the design in Sillken Gran Hotel Domine Bilbao is the powerful presence of its neighbor the Guggenheim Museum. Bilbao, which served as a point of departure when cam to develop this project. So that the museums´s proximity would be more than just anecdotal, the hotels design capture some of the spirit of the museum and aims to offer long with the comforts of a luxury hotel, some of best places of twentieth century design. In order to house all the very relevant pieces under the same roof, designer Javier Marisa took charge of designing a project that could accommodate all these objects. They integrate with the hotel but do not lose their individuality. The general layout of the hotel is based on clearly distinguishable public and private areas. This concept with the goal of creating a dynamic ambiance in the public areas, allows the hotel to participate in the urban activity light outside its doors. With this in mind, the hotel attempts to become another landmark in the city and alternatively, to generate ongoing activity inside its doors. Perhaps the most emblematic element here is the Cipres Fosil a large sculpture of stone and metal mesh that rises up the entire height of the central atrium. According to Javier Mariscal, the designer, the sculpture reflects the character of Bilbao, a city of excesses and contrasts.
