If there is one thing that has become clear to me through writing these pieces, it is that I actually do whatever I like. Or rather, that my way of working inevitably involves constantly changing the original plan depending on the possibilities and necessities that present themselves as the project progresses. Quite logical really, because it results in more for less. I think that most people take plans more seriously than I do. I have a habit of changing everything right up to the last possible moment. This often results in more and better results, but also gives a good helping of stress. Especially for people who like clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first plans for the hotel<\/a>, the old characteristic goods lift was going to remain unchanged. Even with all the disadvantages this brought: The first floor of the shop and the showroom were not accessible with the lift and during evening hours guests in the Wonder Room would have to access the hotel via the emergency exit in the stairwell; not exactly a grand entrance. And once you were actually in the lift, the chances of a malfunction were really too great. But in the end, the decision to replace the lift was a forced one! It turned out to be almost impossible to drag the old lift through the inspection and the costs for refurbishment were almost as high as installing a new one, so in the long-term a new one made more sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now we will have a normal lift, much faster, smaller and more reliable than the old one. It requires much less space, so on the ground floor there is now enough space available to create a lovely entrance to the hotel next to the elevator. Our guests can enter the hotel through a proper entrance, even when the shop is closed (if and when it is actually open). The entrance is around six metres high and the lift shaft in this space is made of glass. So, you can see from outside, through the entrance to the shop on both the ground floor and on the first floor. At night, the glass shop doors are closed, and the hotel<\/a> is only accessible through the dedicated entrance. It really will be spectacular!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
