Long Island City’s Paper Factory Hotel debuted in December 2013 with high praise for keeping much of its industrial roots intact. Developed by Gal Sela and designed by DHD Architecture and Design, the paper factory-turned-hotel was inspired by its former use and the gritty industrial neighborhood that surrounds it. Stylish interior elements include wood ceilings, bare cement floors, an original paper machine and a cylindrical tower of books. Now two years after opening, DHD has published a set of renderings of the building’s next possible chapter that calls for a 4-floor addition atop the five-story building.

The image set shows that office space will be introduced into the building’s mix of hotel suites, dorm-style lodgings, and a restaurant/bar. Floors 6,7,8 will hold open layout offices with the 7th floor benefited by a large wrap-around terrace. The roof level will hold several lounging areas and a rooftop pool and deck. From the outside, the addition will be a clean break from the old daylight factory structure, but will use an industrial language of multipane windows and dark steel surrounds. Building permits have yet to filed for the addition.
