Dear Aleksandra Fursaeva
Thank you for enriching the platform of Inspireli with such an ambitious project.
Firstly, you seem to have preserved the urban form by substituting the new structure with existing one.
The formal aspect of the building is challenging considering the surrounding and the corner issue as a critical moment of continuity between volumes. In the right connection with the existing volume would be convenient to provide a permeable passage at least on the ground floor so the zero level to be as public as a possible.
As regards the plans, are a bit hard to read since the material seems compressed. However, the gradual stream from more public to private areas is visible and very open toward the surrounding. The interior composition would benefit from moments of pause or scaled common areas which diversify the inner spaces. Probably you could consider to propose an efficient use of the top of the hotel, that would enhance the quality and particularity of the building.
Materials: I agree to the extensive use of glass façade, not sure in this location for city hotel, however consider how you will control the privacy and temperature terms in the most natural way possible. Beside, see how or which modalities are more sustainable.
Another issue to address is the high greenery present in the visualization in terms of realization/execution(the planting space) and maintenance. Moreover, since it is concentrated in various floors, in form of green areas check the accessibility and how it invades the privacy of the rooms.
Graphical presentation: would benefit for more synthetic and selective represented graphic material, essential to communicate the main idea.
Overall, the project reflects an intelligent response to the function of architecture of hospitality by accommodating a diversified necessary areas while maintaining the feasibility of all sectors in one building.
