Marciano Architecture shared with us their proposal for the ‘Stavia 2012′ competition. Located in Lake Neuchatel, Switzerland, the thin blades of the hotel fit the smooth landscape of the lake to create a suspended, stretched design towards the horizon. The project celebrates the meeting between the landscape of the park and the lake, nature and water, in a staging of the exchange, the pleasure of vacationing. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The water, the glass, and the horizontal slaps affirm the scenography of the sight, of the resting, of serenity, of pending time, an immovable journey. The park, from the city, is stretched towards the building, interfering in the patios up to the bank. The hotel organizes layered structure and operation of the facility; layer of material and vacuum produce large terraces, open and generous view of the lake.
