Hotel Casa, Amsterdam

Hotel Casa was founded in the late 50’s in Amsterdam with the aim to solve the housing shortage among students. By making the rooms available to hotel guests on a seasonal basis, Casa is still able to provide students with affordable housing to this day. This creates a unique and inspiring mix of users.

“The concept was to realize a diversity of rooms where everything revolves around ‘coming home’, comfort and tactility are central due to the use of acoustic-enhancing materials such as PET felt and textile.”

“With the application of PET Felt for both cabinet fronts and headboards, we were able to create a quirky, colourful and flexible design, in which rooms can function as both student rooms and hotel rooms.”
