Dubai would be the perfect setting for Dutch studio NL Architects’ vision for a hotel which has the appearance of being constructed from precious stone.
The proposed Amethyst Hotel is shaped like a rock-face and features a facade that has the appearance of violet-coloured crystals and its designers said: “Dubai would probably be the ultimate fitting location for The Amethyst Hotel… a surreal addition to the mesmerising skyline – a sublime symbiosis.”
The Amsterdam-based firm says it is envisioning a chain of striking hotel towers with designs based on the “positive powers” of amethyst, a variety of quartz used in jewellery.
With violet-coloured “crystals” for windows the hotel rooms are centred on a large void, providing natural light with a circular corridor connecting all the interior spaces.
It is intended by the designers that the luxury hotels would be situated in stunning locations around the world, with the first planned for China’s Ocean Flower, a man-made island currently under development in the sea north of Hainan.
