Te Hoahoa

Mō Oreno Mountain Retreat Hōtera

Ko Oreno Mountain Retreat he hōtera kei Tsepelovo, Zagori. Ka whakahaere tonu te whare i te horanuku e karapoti ana mā te whakamāori anō i ngā mātāpono ā-rohe o te ōwehenga, te rawa, me te arawhata mokowā. Ka whakamahia e ngā pakitara kōhatu kawe taumaha me ngā pūnaha tuanui rākau ngā tikanga tuku iho ki ngā paerewa o nāianei. Mā te papatipu waiariki nui ka pai ake te whāomoomo pūngao, ā, mā ngā tuwheratanga whakahaeretia ka arahina te māramatanga o te rā me te hau. Mā te whakauru ki te tītaha ka whakaitihia te keri whenua. Ka hangaia e te hoahoa he wairua mārire, huatau hoki e whai pakiaka ana ki ngā maharatanga me ngā mahi toi ā-rohe.

I Muri i te Hoahoa

Kete Pāpāho

Ngā whakamihi, ngā mema o te rōpū me ngā taipitopito hangarau i whakaratohia e te kaihoahoa.

Āhuatanga Motuhake: This design explores architecture as an extension of place rather than an imposed object. Oreno continues the Zagori landscape by reinterpreting local principles of proportion, material, and spatial hierarchy. Its strength lies in balancing memory with contemporary living, solidity with openness. Through restraint, material continuity, and controlled light, it creates a quiet, refined atmosphere rooted in authenticity.
Inenga & Pēketanga: Constructed with load bearing stone walls and timber roof systems, the building employs traditional techniques adapted to contemporary standards. High thermal mass improves energy efficiency, while controlled openings optimize daylight and ventilation. The integration into the slope minimizes excavation and enhances environmental performance, supported by passive design strategies.
Tūtohu: stone, wood, heritage, environment, local, fireplace, wellness, interior
Hangarau Whakanao: The design was developed through analysis of Zagori architectural principles proportion, material logic, and spatial hierarchy, rather than formal imitation. Local stone and timber systems informed both structure and envelope. Iterative modeling and section studies ensured integration with the terrain, while light and material continuity were refined to create a cohesive, atmospheric spatial experience.
Wero Hoahoa: The main challenge was integrating Zagori historical and social context with modern hospitality standards. Internally, respecting local architectural memory and community traditions guided design decisions. Externally, strict heritage regulations, limited construction technologies, and site constraints demanded careful material selection, precise geometry, and iterative modeling to achieve a balance between authenticity, comfort, and environmental integration.
Whakaaweawe: The inspiration for Oreno emerges from the quiet continuity of life in Zagori. It draws from the memory of people and their rhythms. Gatherings in village squares, the echo of music across the mountains, the slow passage of seasons. Tradition is not treated as a fixed image, but as a living presence, embedded in craft, in material, in proportion. Stone and earth become both structure and story, grounding the hotel in its place, while the spirit of local life shapes spaces that feel familiar, warm, and enduring.
Roanga o te Kaupapa: The project started in September 2023 in Tsepelovo, Zagori and finished in Janaury 2026
