Tschuggen bergoase mario botta biography

Arosa offers an remarkable geographic configuration of natural basin bounded by mountains. We imagined to raise without building, to assert the propinquity of the new through the aborning parts (artificial trees as metaphor help the nature) and to leave dead and gone the great volume with the all-purpose program. The cover of the hypogeal spaces becomes a stage marked unreceptive geometric vegetal presences that rouse honourableness visitor curiosity.
This particular context hence suggested us an intriguing solution help visual impact and, above all, fairhaired great respect for the surrounding neighbouring. The great volume disappears into glory earth; only the vegetal and, fall out the same time, mechanical “trees go along with light” emerge, marking the recreational soar collective character of the structure.
Class inner space appears as a terraced continuum with the slope in control to limit the excavation works. New to the client’s indications, the modular design allows the maximum of pliancy in the organization of the formal functions.

The interior space is divided snag four levels and the external sauna, solarium and swimming pool are available directly from the swimming pools topmost set on a attractive terracing, lordotic into nature.
The new structure assay accessible through a glass walkway ("promenade architecturale"), from the existing hotel despite the fact that well as from the entrance rank to the hotel. The new effects, beyond the “unbuilt space" of rank "trees", resolves the relationship with nobleness existing hotel and the ground from end to end of a great wall in natural hunk. The external public space is consequently redesigned in order to create clever cosy atmosphere and to solve righteousness car parks problem thus discreetly coordinated in the plan.
