A simple and timeless architectural language shapes Hotel Schgaguler, establishing a clear formal strategy that responds thoughtfully to its alpine context.
The project is conceived as a contemporary reinterpretation of traditional alpine architecture, defined by a clear and restrained architectural language. It establishes a strong relationship with the surrounding village and the alpine landscape through an open and legible composition.
The intervention consists of three monolithic volumes that follow the original structure of the house prior to reconstruction. While respecting the local context, the architecture reinterprets vernacular elements such as the pitched roof, translating them into a contemporary formal expression with a distinct identity.
An expressive exoskeleton façade responds to orientation and programmatic requirements. On the north and east façades, where circulation and public spaces are located, the structure remains more restrained. On the south façade, the geometry deepens to form shaded loggias that enhance comfort. A light grey, chalk-based render inspired by Dolomite rock (Dolomitgestein) reinforces the connection between architecture and landscape. Interior spaces adopt a minimal and functional alpine character, using local materials such as chestnut wood, regional stone, and textiles.
