About Maestoso Ihhotela

I-Maestoso yihhotela edalwe ngokuvuselelwa kwesakhiwo esikhona esasakhiwa ngeminyaka yawo-1970. Lo msebenzi wokuklama unikeza indlela yokusimama ekuvuselelweni kwezakhiwo ezindala zamahhotela ezidinga umsindo omusha kanye nezinsiza ezintsha. Isici esiyinhloko siyisakhiwo sobuso bakhona (i-facade), esisekela iibhalikoni ezengezwe futhi sihlanganisa ukubukeka kwesakhiwo nezimo zendawo ezizungezile. Ubuso bakhona bakhiwa ngendlela ye-parametric futhi benziwa ngezinsika zezigodo ezibunjwa nge-CNC milling. Ngaphakathi, izindonga zaphuculwa ngokupendwa ukuveza isakhiwo sikhonkolo esiluhlaza, futhi izinto zokufaka (furnishing) zezigodo nezinsimbi zengeza ukufudumala.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: The Maestoso hotel is a renovation of an existing 1970s building. The project proposes a new and sustainable way of renovating old hotel buildings, which are in need of a new character and new facilities. The main feature of the design is the façade structure, which on one hand, serves as supporting structure for the added balconies, while on the other hand, it blends the buildings appearance with the surrounding landscape.
Dimensions & Packaging: Size: 7.785 m2
Site: 9.970 m2
Footprint: 3.440 m2
Tags: hotel, renovation, façade structure, stud farm, concrete, architecture, natural
Production Technology: The realization of the project required a completely three dimensional approach to the structure as well as the interior organization of the space. The façade was parametrically modeled and produced with CNC milling out of wooden beams. On the inside, the walls were brushed and cleaned to reveal the rough concrete structure. Furnishing made of wood and metal was inserted to add additional warmth to the interior space.
Inspiration: The main inspiration for the design can be found in the traditional white fence that surrounds the pastures of the white Lipizzaner horses. The fences are a recognizable regional motif that is carried onto the building envelope, creating a bond between the large hotel volume and the local landscape. The intent of the project was to propose a sustainable approach to hotel renovation, where instead of demolishing an old building, we propose a repurposing and expansion of the existing structure.
Project Duration: The project started in 2018 and was constructed in July 2021 in Lipica, Slovenia.
