#12629. Mountain hotel with wooden wave-like facade

This modern hotel or apartment complex is an excellent example of bioclimatic architecture harmoniously integrated into the mountain landscape. The building's facade is completely covered with vertical wooden slats, creating a warm, natural appearance that contrasts with the majestic mountains in the background.

Particularly noteworthy is the wave-like form of the building, which seems to reflect the silhouette of the surrounding mountains, creating an organic connection between architecture and natural context. This approach allows the building, despite its significant size, to avoid appearing bulky or out of place in this environment.

The facade is resolved using a rhythmic alternation of wooden slats and glass surfaces, providing not only aesthetic appeal but also functionality. The vertical wooden elements act as sun-protection screens, regulating the intensity of natural light and heat loss. At the same time, extensive glazing ensures abundant penetration of daylight into the interior spaces and opens up magnificent views of the surrounding landscape.

Protruding balconies with wooden railings add dynamism to the facade and create useful open spaces for guests. The wooden cladding of the first floor, executed with the same rhythm and material as the upper levels, ensures the integrity of the composition. It's important to note that such an approach to facade design can be adapted for a private home as well, especially in a natural setting where the use of natural materials and harmonious relationship with the landscape play a key role.
