7. The Sinclair, Autograph Collection
FORT WORTH, TEXAS
Sinclair Oil Holdings built its 17-story Fort Worth headquarters
in 1929 with a zigzag moderne exterior and art deco interiors,
embodying the Texas oil boom's exuberance. More than 90
years later, the structure has found new life as a hotel with
cutting-edge energy-saving technology. Farukh Aslam, chief
executive officer of local company Sinclair Digital, purchased the
building in 2013 and chose a PoE system to supply electricity for
lighting, automatic window shades, smart mirrors, and minibars.
Because PoE reduces the energy loss that comes from converting
AC power to DC, the light fixtures also run much cooler, relieving
strain on the air-conditioning system.
The system is estimated to reduce the hotel's energy use by
more than 30 percent. Occupancy sensors and smart thermostats
conserve electricity as well. Opened in 2020, the hotel
forgoes a diesel generator in favor of a lithium-ion battery as its
backup system during power outages. Dallas-based Merriman
Anderson Architects renovated the exterior, and the Dallas office
of Forrest Perkins handled interior design.
8. Paramount House Hotel
SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA
In the Surry Hills neighborhood of Sydney, local developer Citadin
repurposed the 1940s art deco headquarters of Paramount Pictures
Australia as the Paramount House, containing a cinema, bar, café,
and coworking space. In 2018, Citadin revamped the adjoining
80-year-old film warehouse as the 29-room Paramount House Hotel.
Architecture firm Breathe of Brunswick, Victoria, topped the threestory
brick warehouse with a copper screen to give guest-room balconies
privacy from the street while filtering daylight. The screen's
chevron patterning references the streamline moderne style of the
Paramount House next door.
The design team minimized building waste by using locally
sourced and recycled materials, such as recycled timber floorboards.
Historic brickwork is exposed, with remnants of former stairwells,
parapets, gable ends, and joists visible in places. Every guest room
is different in shape. A former film-vault-turned-atrium contains the
reception lounge. On the roof, a seven-kilowatt photovoltaic array
contributes to the building's electricity supply.
