By expanding an existing hotel, we created a residential project that combines tourist use with private living at a high architectural standard.

Our aim was to design a building that engages openly with its environment while providing secluded spaces for various areas of living.

Function

As a hotel extension, we designed four additional guest rooms and planned a self-contained residential unit spread over two levels. The lower floor houses the technical and service areas, while the upper floor is divided into four clearly defined zones.
At the center lies the entrance and communication area with a spiral staircase connecting both levels. From here, three more zones extend: a children’s area, a private retreat for the parents, and the open-plan living area – the heart of the project.
This central living space was deliberately extended in two directions – with a summer terrace facing north and a winter terrace facing south. This creates fluid transitions between indoors and outdoors, opening the building up to the surrounding landscape.

Facade design

For the facade design, we chose vertical wooden slats that give the building a warm and natural appearance. At the same time, they provide visual privacy and support the intended balance between openness and seclusion.

Harnessing natural light

Three round skylights supply key functional areas inside the building with natural light: the entrance zone, the office, and the living area. They not only enhance the lighting conditions but also contribute to a pleasant spatial atmosphere.
The light motif continues in the outdoor space: on the terrace, we integrated a circular opening that brings in additional daylight and extends the architectural concept outward.

A building with multiple functions that still feels like a unified whole. Living, hospitality, and accessibility – seamlessly integrated through architectural clarity.
