DESCRIPTION

Located in the modern CityLife district, NH Hotel Collection CityLife is the thirteenth hotel from NH Group to open in Milan.

The building is designed to integrate and repurpose the structure of the Cristo Re, a deconsecrated and abandoned church. Due to the volumetric and stylistic qualities of the church structure, it will be used for the main activity and reception area of the hotel while a completely new building will contain all other services, logistics, congress areas, restaurants and rooms.

The hotel has 13 floors, 185 rooms, a conference center and a swimming pool on the top floor from which to admire the city skyline.

APPLICATION METHODS

Inefficient waterproofing can spell disaster for a luxurious and upscale hotel, as such only the highest quality materials were selected.

Krystaline Add1 was used for all water tanks the base slab. Krystaline Add1 CW was used to treat all below grade walls due to the fast setting time and the increased strength gains for the concrete, allowing increased physical strength and speed for removing formwork. Both Add1 and Add1 CW where used to increase durability and to provide effective waterproofing ability.

Krystaline Add1 and Krystaline Add1 CW were added on site in 1 kg water soluble bags to waterproof a total of 6000 m³ of concrete. Construction joints were waterproofed with cast-in-place metal waterstops.

RESULTS

The project was completed with more than satisfactory results.
