这座建筑的平面图有一个凸出的中央脊柱，内有卧室和垂直循环，两侧有两个凹形的翅膀，可以容纳更多的卧室和走廊。这些机翼上覆盖着数千个经过特殊处理、高度反射的不锈钢瓦，随着时间的推移，不断变化的颜色产生了非同寻常的效果。

The plan of the building has a convex central spine containing bedrooms and the verticalcirculation, flanked by two concave wings which house further bedrooms and corridors.These wings are clad in thousands of specially treated, highly reflective stainless‐steelshingles creating the extraordinary effect of constantly changing colour with the passing of the day.

酒店的中央脊柱已经完成了一个定制，双层玻璃包层，其中包括一个半透明的陶瓷玻璃图案和坚实的背彩绘板。在布里奇特·赖利的一些绘画作品中所看到的深度错觉的启发下，玻璃上的抽象水平条纹被设计成强调建筑物的流动。这创造了一个不寻常的相互作用的运动和深度时，结合了新月翅膀起伏的颜色。

The central spine of the hotel has been finished with a bespoke, double‐glazed cladding, which features a translucent ceramic frit pattern and solid back‐painted spandrel panels. Inspired by the illusion of depth seen in some of Bridget Riley’s paintings, abstract horizontal stripes fritted onto the glass have been designed to emphasise the flow of the building. Thiscreates an unusual interplay of movement and depth when combined with the undulatingcolours of the crescent wings.

该大楼的“蛇形”分层减少了内部走廊的长度，并为中央电梯核心大厅带来了自然的阳光，同时解决了展览中心周围复杂的服务基础设施造成的场地限制。该表格还使客户的简报所要求的各种房间大小能够被优雅地容纳。

The building’s ‘serpentine’ layering reduces internal corridor lengths and brings natural daylight into the central lift core lobby whilst addressing the site restrictions generated bycomplex service infrastructure surrounding the exhibition centre. The form also enables thevariety of room sizes demanded by the client’s brief to be elegantly accommodated.

为了回应酒店的分层通道要求，主要的步行线从一楼的EXCEL到地面的车辆通道，Jestico Whiles在建筑中心设计了一个宽敞的、双高度的中庭接待处，并有一个定制的、雕塑式的螺旋楼梯将这两层连接起来。

In response to the split‐level access requirements of the hotel, with the main pedestrianroute emerging from ExCeL on the first floor and the vehicular access on the ground level,Jestico + Whiles has designed a spacious, double height atrium reception in the centre of the building with a bespoke, sculptural spiral stairway linking the two levels.

Jestico Whiles对内部空间的处理延续了外部设计的线性、多色彩的主题。创新的装饰和定制的彩灯面板，让人联想到外观处理，装饰客房走廊，创造内外部空间的凝聚力。室内配置了一个精心挑选的木材调色板，克里安，玻璃，瓷器和纹理壁纸，以及选定的艺术装饰公共空间。该公司已经专门调整和发展了内部设计，以便将aloft的指导方针演变成一个特定于网站的设计。

Jestico + Whiles’ treatment of the internal spaces continues the linear, multi‐coloured motif of the external design. Innovative finishes and bespoke coloured light panels, reminiscent ofthe façade treatment, decorate the guestroom corridors, creating cohesion between theinternal and external spaces. The interiors have been furnished with a carefully selectedpalette of timber, Corian®, glass, porcelain and textured wallpaper, with selected artworksdecorating the public spaces. The firm has specifically tuned and developed the interiordesign to evolve the Aloft guidelines into a site‐specific design.

Jestico Whiles公司的主管JohnWhiles说：“Aloft伦敦Excel的开幕对练习来说是一个令人兴奋的时刻。建筑通过材料与活动的结合，继续挑战酒店设计的接受规范，建筑与室内设计成为一种整体处理方式。酒店在国际会议中心这一重要入口创造了一种标志性的区位感，这对伦敦的未来至关重要。“

John Whiles, Director of Jestico + Whiles said: “The opening of Aloft London Excel is an exciting moment for the practice. The building continues our challenge to the acceptednorms of hotel design through the integration of the theatre of materials and activity wherethe architecture and interior design become one holistic treatment. The hotel clearlyenhances the experience of the location to create an iconic sense of place at this importantentrance to the International Conference Centre, so vital to the future of London.”
