Paramount House Hotel seamlessly integrates an 80-year-old warehouse with a contemporary copper screen, celebrating sustainability and the rich heritage of its film precinct location while capturing the essence of the golden era of cinema.
Paramount House Hotel rises out of the 80-year-old warehouse that occupies the site. A copper, chevron screen crowns its brick shell and converses with the neighbouring art deco buildings of this former film precinct.
Designed with priority towards sustainability in construction and operation. The project explores the narrative between artefact and ornament, of place and of home. It’s an idea about expressing everything that was old, true, honest and raw about the existing warehouse and capturing the spirit and excitement of the golden era of film.
