Transcript of Caleta Hotel Brochure
This document describes the architectural solution of a project that is divided into two phases. The first phase is the renovation of the Caleta Hotel, creating a new 5 star unit called The Suites
of Caleta and the construction of a shared Car park. In the second phase will be developed a residential area consisting on a building with 57 apartments and 180 parking spaces of which 93
are for public users. Will form part of this phase another building consisting of 4 independent houses with high specifications.
For the existing vegetation on the site, we suggest that the trees will be carefully removed and to be donated. (Ficus, Araucaria, Cypress)
INTRODUCTION
A REDESIGN AND MORE SOFTENED APPROACH TO THE NORTH ELEVATION, SEA FACING AND ROCK FACING ELEVATION OF THE 5 STAR HOTEL, WHICH WILL ALSO INVOLVE THE REDUCTION OF THE CAR PARK SPACES IN THE BUILDING FROM 70 TO 55, WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF REPLACING THE 15 BY GOING UNDERGROUND.
PUBLIC ACCESS HAS BEEN GIVEN TO THE FRONT OF THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE GROUND FLOOR OF THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING DEDICATED TO THE COMMERCIAL UNITS, A GREATER VISUAL ACCESS TO THE SEA.
ALL CONSTRUCTION BETWEEN THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDING AND THE LUXURY HOUSES AT DOUGAL’S POINT HAS BEEN REMOVED AND THE TELESLOPE WILL NO LONGER BE CONSTRUCTED.
THE REDUCTION OF THE LUXURY RESIDENTIAL FROM 5 UNITS AND THEREFORE 2 ABOVE STREET LEVEL, TO 4 UNITS AND THE PROVISION OF 3 TO 4 UNDERGROUND CAR PARK SPACES WITHIN EACH UNIT.
THIS DOCUMENT PRESENTS THE PROPOSAL PRESENTED IN FEBRUARY 25, 2014 AT DPC.

SITE LOCATION
The site is located on the coast East of Gibraltar and is served by the Sir
Herbert Miles Road´s street.Part of the site is occupied by the Caleta Hotel and another part is
naturally intact.
The place has a lot of potential because it has a privileged sea views to
the East and views of the rock to the West. Due to its good location and
proximity to the Catalan Bay makes it an attractive and singular place.

CONSTRUCTION OF NEW 5 STARS HOTEL AND CAR PARK
Following initial meetings to define the Client's Briefing we have studied a moderate intervention strategy that still respects the identity of the building and adapt this to current realities to create a new contemporary image, making the Hotel more attractive and provide a more efficient service to visitors of Gibraltar.
STRATEGIC VISION
The objective of the intervention is the transformation of
the most charismatic and prestigious hotel unit of
Gibraltar, giving it a new quality features and modernity
able to compete with the highest standards of international
hospitality. It is proposed a total transformation of the
existing building facades achieved through the selection
of the finest materials chosen according to a principle of
chromatic integration into existing natural landscape.
Alongside this transformation of the actual Caleta Hotel ,
we propose a new 5 star unit comprised of 40 luxury suites
with private independent access to common areas and
located on the rooftop a SPA unit. The 5 star unit will share
services and part of the infrastructure with the current
Caleta Hotel for both economic and energy sustainability
reasons.
Both units will share a automated car park holding 50
parking spaces located on the wing side adjacent to Sir
Herter Miles road.
This proposal will combine the essential reference brand
Caleta Hotels with a unique location plus a renovated,
sophisticated high quality design, with the aim of
positioning the Caleta Hotel and Gibraltar as an
international reference in the Hotel industry.

DEMOLITION OF THE EXISTING ANNEXE CALETA HOTEL AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE NEW RESIDENTIAL BUILDING
Phase 2 provides the demolition of the south wing attached to the Caleta Hotel and the construction at the same location of a
residential unit consisting of 57 unique flats for housing and a total of 180 parking places . The -1 floor and -2 floor will hold 93 parking spaces
for public use and on floors -3 and -2 another 87 parking spaces for the resident owners. On the top floor will be build a panorama swimming
pool, a support bar and technical areas.
The ground floor is dedicated to large common areas for the apartments, commercial and trade units, green spaces and circulation
areas at Sir Herbert Miles Road.
A careful choice of materials to the highest standards of quality and environmental combined with a singular architectural design and a
unique location will position The Caleta Residence as one of the most emblematic residential buildings in Gibraltar.

BUILDING ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Efficient isolation
Alf of the energy we use to heat or cool can simply leak out without insulation.
Insulation helps to:
-reduce reliance on heating and cooling systems
-save money on energy bills
-improve comfort at home
-protect the environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by lowering energy consumption.
Some types of insulation contemplated can make the building more soundproof.
This building is designed in ventilated facade system with exterior isolation.
High performance Windows
Will be referred high-performance windows to reduce the energy consumption.
Intelligent Energy Management System
The building will provide a lower electrical consumption by:
Motion detection cells
Electric home automation system
Energy efficient lifts
Lights
Good quality LEDs (light emitting diodes) can provide excellent lighting.
LEDs are the most energy efficient of light systems. LEDs currently available are approximately 4 to 5 times more efficient than the typical incandescent or halogen equivalent. Leds will be in all common areas and apartments.
Natural Light
Sunlight is the cleanest and cheapest method of lighting during the day. Passive lighting uses no electricity and is a great way to reduce carbon emissions. This building provides large Windows resulting in lower light energy consumption.
Photovoltaic technology
Energy from the sun can be captured in two ways: as heat energy (thermal energy) or as light energy. Photovoltaic technology (PV), also known as solar panels, converts the sun's light energy into an electrical current.
Hot Water
An average house can use around a quarter of its total energy on
heating water, so it's important to use an efficient system that suits
needs. Reducing the amount of hot water and using a more
efficient hot water system are great ways to reduce energy costs
and impact on the environment.
Solar Hot Water Systems
Solar hot water systems take advantage of sunshine and use solar
energy to heat water for household use. A solar hot water system
should provide between 50 and 90 per cent of hot water needs.
Solar hot water systems come with electric boosters to provide the
rest of hot water needs.
Passive Design
The balconies projection allows the lower winter sun to warm the
house through south and stop summer sun from entering the house
with good external shading.
Solar heat absorbed through windows and roofs can increase
cooling costs, and incorporating shade from architecture elements
such balconies can help reduce this solar heat gain.
The building was designed in such a way that the solar heat is not
directly on the windows specially on the summer.
Natural airflow is also considered to help keeping temperatures
with cross-ventilation.
Heating and Cooling Systems
Will be studied the most efficient and balanced solutions
considering their environmental impact.
Landscape
A well-designed landscape not only can increase quality of the
building and surroundings but it also can reduce heating and
cooling costs.
Architecture Landscape Windbreaks and Efficiency
Elements like glass railings and green barriers helps to protect
windows from the wind and save energy.
Landscaping Water Conservation
We will design a landscape that conserves water as well as energy.
