CONCRETE RESULTS
The 2014 Gold Key
Designer of the Year lets its
provocative, groundbreaking
work do the talking.
BY MAT THEW HALL
CONCRETE, the Amsterdam-based
architecture/design house that's created
visionary hospitality spaces around
the globe, is no stranger to the readers
of Boutique Design. The firm's previous
appearances on our pages include a
Q+A with founder and creative director
Rob Wagemans in the March/April 2012
issue; a profile of the supperclub Dubai
in the October 2013 edition, and its work
on the citizenM Rotterdam, which was
part of the "High-Tech Hotels" feature in
the June 2014 issue.
And elsewhere in this issue, we profile
concrete's two honorees in this year's
Gold Key Awards, both in the Best LobbyLuxury category, for the W Verbier, Switzerland, which was the winner (shown
left and on page 30), and for citizenM
Times Square in New York, a finalist
(page 33).
So, in covering the firm's being named
Gold Key Designer of Year, we decided to
take one of concrete's maxims-"Let the
work do the talking"-to heart. Hence,
what follows is a photo essay of some
game-changing projects by the firm from
a variety of sectors. (The captions are
based on concrete's own descriptive text
for its projects.)
