The original DA for this site proposed a 142-room hotel across eight levels with minimal BOH space and only a small café as FOH. Through efficient planning, MOSTAGHIM reconfigured the layout to achieve 144 rooms over seven floors—maintaining room sizes and optimizing the same gross floor area.

​

The ground floor was strategically redesigned to accommodate adequate BOH areas while expanding FOH offerings, including a restaurant, bar, café counter, and lobby lounge. Honoring the site’s past as a well-known Mercedes workshop, the architecture references its industrial roots through brickwork and steel detailing, while the reception desk repurposes a classic Mercedes G-Wagon.
