The arch: an iconic element in the history of architecture. From massive roman aqueducts to vaults and colossal arches, the arch has always been present in many different styles and eras. 
This week classic elegance meets contemporary design. We selected five projects that used arches in distinct, tasteful ways.

The Calile Hotel for its up-to-date curves and arches that sweep through calm pathways of tranquil palettes and soothing textures.

The Corinthia Palace Malta for its classic-style big arches and neutral-coloured serene spaces.

The Kimpton Da An Hotel Taipei for its bold shapes and eye-catching textures that surround multifaceted arches.

The Montcalm East, Shoreditch London for its smart way to divide a double-height lobby with sophisticated wooden arches that form a vault-like pathway.

The One&Only Portonovi for its kaleidoscopic mirror effect produced by metalic arches.
