The full story
The materials used in both construction and interior design have been chosen for their circularity credentials, provenance and relevance to the QO’s story and vision.
Our commitment to this literally runs throughout the hotel; almost a third of the concrete used in the construction of the QO came from Amsterdam’s iconic old Shell building.
Integrating this landmark into our new building has allowed us to imbue it with Amsterdam heritage, while the Netherlands’ history with the sea lives on in our carpets, which are made from 100% recycled yarn previously used in fishing nets. Finally, we want the QO to be as free of materials with toxic emissions as possible therefore we have checked elements from the wood to the wallpaper against this marker.
