This project involved gaining a detailed planning consent for the development of a 223 bedroom hotel which was located in a prominent location on the site of an existing car park, and on one of the main approaches to Birmingham International Airport. The 10 storey hotel incorporated guest rooms which were arranged across two wings on the upper floors, with restaurant, wellbeing and conference facilities located on the ground and first floors. The proposal provided supporting infrastructure to both Birmingham International Airport and the National Exhibition Centre and was designed to address issues concerning the airport radar system with height, orientation and the use of unreflective surfaces being carefully considered during the design process. In terms of sustainability the hotel was designed to a target BREEAM rating of 'Very Good’ and we also achieved advertising consent for the nominated hotel chain.
