Abstract
I researched the city planning history of Amsterdam and the specific model of the residential hotel. The research on the characteristics of the Amsterdam canal house and the hofje inspired my proposal of the city hotel. Both the spatial sequence and the operating mode will refer to the traditional hofje. The hotel can be considered as a part of the Raepenhofje and can strengthen the relationship with this community. Like traditional hofjes in Amsterdam, my hotel can also be operated by charity organizations such as art foundation, aiming to provide high-quality studio space and related facilities for artists. The hotel rents out studios to artists and provides them with accommodation.
