Jeanne Gang's Populus hotel in Denver creatively integrates nature through its design, echoing the surrounding landscape with materials and architectural features inspired by Colorado's Aspen trees.
Gang emphasizes the importance of windows in hotel design, while the streamlined 'eyelids' above each window reduce solar gain, showcasing her focus on energy efficiency.
The hotel's use of upcycled materials, such as salvaged fencing and repurposed leather, highlights the dedication to sustainability in hospitality—an important step for the industry.
Gang envisions the rooftop plantings to not only benefit the environment but also to connect people with biophilia, enhancing their experience and well-being while staying at the hotel.
