PATIO HOTEL -

ORIO AL SERIO

How could we create a building which is domestically classified as “a hotel”, following the strict international company codes and standards of a hotel chain, but also creating an own identity? How do we create a link between the different buildings and their different scales? How do we create something Glocal? – inserting a global project in the local setting. 

Putting into consideration the common material language of the pre-existing projects on the site, the new hotel emulates some subjects associated with the dynamic perception of the site. The light building skin for example creates a mirage of the massive wall. The building is oriented longitudinally east-west, with a large patio serving as a central space facing the restaurants, conference halls and guest rooms. Parallel to the highway is the transparent volume of the lobby, which is oriented along the connecting ramp between the congress center and the restaurant at the first level, underlining the dynamism of the view.
