这是由Nuno Pimenta与 Frederico Martins联合设计的享乐主义者旅舍。该项目与电影节合作策划，在曼海姆意想不到的公共场地设计和建造20间临时旅舍，位客人提供独特的体验。这些旅舍仅使用可回收、可循环或可再生的材料建造，预算不超过250欧元。建筑师有意地将这个“享乐主义旅舍”布置在德国的两条河流汇合处，重新对这个分叉的地理位置做出了诠释。到了晚上，这个透明盒子与红色的灯光交融在一起，隐藏了内部空间，或是强调了自我，这即是一个展示的机会，也是一个取悦路人小品。

The Hedonist’ was selected to be one of ‘Hotel ShabbyShabby’ rooms for Theather der Welt in Mannheim – the most influential theater festival in Germany.

‘Hotel ShabbyShabby’ was curated by Raumlaborberlin in partnership with the festival and consisted on the design and construction of 20 temporary hotel rooms located in unexpected public spaces of Mannheim that should provide a unique experience to their guests. These rooms should be built only with recycled, reused or recyclable materials and should not exceed the budget of 250€.

All the rooms were built in a workshop and construction camp right in front of the National Theatre of Mannheim and then transported to their respective sites.‘The Hedonist’ was located at Neckarspitze, the exact place where the river Rhine and Neckar converge, a place with incredible 360º views that combine idyllic nature with industrial night lights and big ships passing by.

Just like the apparent spatial paradox of this site, the definition of Hedonism has two opposing but somehow complementary interpretations: Whilst philosophically associated with supreme pleasure and happiness in human life, its popular sense may be pejorative and related with the selfish pursuit of momentary gratification and lust.

‘The Hedonist’ translates this dichotomy by being a transformative room; it adapts itself to the user, his interpretation of happiness or simply to a transitory state of mind, whether it means waking up with a beautiful panoramic view of a natural landscape or having a hot one night stand. It offers the pleasure of being alone or the joy of showing off, the delight of a warmth bed or the relish of a joint venture.

Its transparency combined with the use of the red light, as hints of obscure joys, may be hidden or emphasized by the user, as the translucent white curtain reveal or conceal the room’s interior, depending on the intensity of light (day or night, artificial lights on or off). The repetition of vertical elements, as well as the component’s gradual layering towards the center suggest archetypes of visual harmony, human cult, craftmanship and tectonicity… this time around with contemporary humble materials.

The Hedonist’ thus reflects the good or the evil, the white or red, the opacity or the transparency, the shyness or the exhibitionism. It is a room where you can bring all of this inside or proudly show it to the outside.The room was fully booked for the duration of the festival even before its construction completion.
