9. TWA Hotel
NEW YORK, NEW YORK
When the TWA Flight Center opened in 1962 at JFK International Airport,
its design, by noted modernist architect Eero Saarinen, embodied flight
in the building's sweeping curves. The air terminal closed in 2001, its
future uncertain. The Port Authority of New York restored core interior
spaces, and the local office of hotel owner/operator MCR/Morse Development
added an underground event space and deferentially set new
hotel wings back from the historic structure, which houses restaurants,
shops, a ballroom, and a fitness center. A triple-glazed curtain wall provides
both thermal and acoustic insulation.
Opened in 2019, the hotel produces all its own energy with a highly
efficient cogeneration plant that runs on natural gas and recaptures
engine heat for hot water and space heating. Ultra-low-flow water fixtures
reduce water use. Roof and plaza drains pump stormwater into
the airport's watershed storm system for filtering. Local firm Beyer
Blinder Belle Architects and Planners served as project and preservation
architect in a team with Brooklyn-based Lubrano Ciavarra Architects
and New York City-based firms INC Architecture & Design and
Stonehill Taylor.
10. Wren Urban Nest
DUBLIN, IRELAND
Opened in 2021, the 137-room Wren Urban Nest hotel relies on 100
percent renewable energy by means of a variety of carbon-reduction
strategies. Heating and cooling are supplied by air source and water-towater
heat pumps, with help from a high thermal mass, a tight building
envelope, and a design that shares solar heat gain from one side of
the building with the other during the winter. In warmer months, heat
gain is diverted to the building's hot water system.
The designer, the Dublin studio of BDP, equipped the west elevation
with a folded, glazed facade that halves the time of exposure to direct
afternoon sunlight at any given period. Smart building technologies
turn off lights and heating/cooling as well as automatically close and
open blinds when guest rooms are unoccupied. A vegetated roof and a
stormwater runoff system help filter and absorb stormwater. The hotel's
kitchen uses induction stoves, and the local community can access the
kitchen's food waste through an app. UL
