Adelphi Hotel 187 Flinders Lane, Melbourne 1990 Denton Corker Marshall Stories: 11 Rooms: 34 Width: 8m

HISTORY
What is now the Adelphi Hotel was once Joseph Plottel’s Moderne styled Yaffa House, which was built between 1937 and 1938. A minimalist boutique and hotel, the Adelphi is the result of a refurbishment project by architectural firm Denton Corker Marshall in 1990.

DESIGN
The original building provides no more than the structure, which has been adorned with de-Stijl coloured metal plates, planes and details by DCM. Terra cotta tiles and metal windows from the original building have purposefully remained; the architects had wanted to create the additions in a way which would carefully contrast the existing style of the building. The new elements have been carefully juxtaposed against the existing.

The hotel rooms are detailed with sharp lines. The notion behind this design approach was that the architects wished to create a hotel which was the antithesis to the familiar analgesic and unoriginal design of traditional hotels. Guests at the Adelphi are met by a minimalist sharp aesthetic, which extends to not only the bar and restaurant, but the bedrooms too.

The bedrooms have a minimalist aesthetic. The bathroom and bedroom are separated by a glass wall; the floors are black stone for the bathroom and black carpet for the bedroom, the windows are shaded by white blinds. Every piece of furniture is individually designed by the architects, who wanted everything within the hotel to be designed and manufactured within Australia. The choice in aesthetic style by the architects was made with the intention of creating a special and memorable experience for guests staying at the hotel.

In the lobby at ground floor where reception and the hotel restaurant are located, there are pieces of contemporary Australian artwork on display. These are exchanged every few months, so new and varying pieces are always on display.

The hotel consists of eleven stories, is eight meters wide, and has thirty four rooms in total. It is located in a dense part of Melbourne city.

SWIMMING POOL
The twenty-five-meter lap pool, which is located on the roof of the hotel, is arguably the most striking feature of the building. Sporting an elaborate cantilevered structure, the glass bottom pool overhangs Flinders Lane by one meter, conjuring images of constructivist architecture. Beneath the glass bottomed pool is an eight-storey drop. The design of the pool is significant because it re-evaluates the meaning of a roof-top pool. Where most roof-top pools are materialised in the same way as in a suburban backyard, the pool at the Adelphi Hotel adds a new dimension to the experience of swimmers. Users are made aware of the surrounding context, and a sense of exhilaration and danger is added when swimming over the glass bottomed cantilever.

Adjacent to the pool, there is a two-storey bar, which is a separate structure to the hotel. The structure consists of 300x300mm black structural framing.

AWARDS
The Adelphi Hotel has won the following architectural awards:

RAIA National Presidents Award RAIA Victorian Chapter Award (Commercial Alterations & Extensions) RAIA Victorian Chapter Award (Interiors) Winner Dulux Colour Awards (Commercial Exterior) Grand Prix Dulux Colour Awards
