The proposal designed by Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos, establishes a dialogue with the three main historical elements of the place: the Imperial Palace (Kaiserpfalz), the footprint of the cloister from the former cathedral, and the remains of the foundations of the medieval wall. The decision to divide the ensemble into three different volumes minimizes the impact of the intervention in the context and respects the memory of the original layout of the wall.
Three quadrate courtyards - an echo of the plan of the historic cloister - articulate the interior spaces of both buildings.
The horizontality of the project is accentuated by means of a wide platform conceived as a landscaped terrace that interacts with the surroundings and unifies the different interventions. The public scale of the congress center and the intimate privacy of the hotel are expressed through the treatment of the windows and the exterior slate cladding on the facades, evoking the historical and traditional material construction of the city of Goslar.
