In France’s Bordeaux docklands region, the Seeko’o Hotel stands as an incredibly bold architectural statement – not just for its sculptural form, but for the innovative use of DuPont Corian cladding as its exterior surface material.
While the building’s design was developed to break with tradition and yet harmonise with its environment, it is the material’s sustainability, durability, and low-maintenance properties that make it a standout for a modern façade.
Corian was selected for the Seeko’o Hotel by the architect Jean-Christophe Masnada, of the Atelier d’architecture King Kong. It was not only chosen for its sleek, seamless aesthetic, but also for its exceptional resistance to graffiti, pollution, and weathering.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
