Competition: Hotel in Northern Italy | Luttach

the competition entry for the extension of a hotel reshapes, redesigns and reconceives the available space.
the existing hotel consists of different volumes that are cleverly connected esthetically by the extension. the concept envisages that the restructuring of the buildings will be based on the organic forms of the surroundings. the staging deliberately blends into the landscape and also creates a more natural open space for visitors.
the buildings, which are differentiated in dimension and height, are clad in expanded metal and feature a large-scale but minimalist façade design. the facades [latin: facies for face] are thus unified and become the new face of the hotel. folded elements in the outer facade plane keep the buildings in motion. this dynamic sets an accent and underlines the adaptation of the buildings to the individual needs of the visitors.
additional volumes take up topographical forms and thus model the spatial landscape. the round forms harmonize with the hilly landscape; here the extension opens up and offers guests a change of perspective. this new area, embedded in the landscape, can be used in a variety of ways thanks to the redesign and thus becomes the focal point of the temporary stay of many guests.
