A new chapter is being opened at the Hofergut in the picturesque Pustertal Valley in South Tyrol. From now on, you can stay here in a modern ambience in a historical setting. Sounds like a contradiction? Not at all! The listed walls have been carefully brought up to date and now shine in new old splendour!
It is one of the latest highlights of the charming hotel in Bolzano: the green pool in the enchanting Mondschein park could have been taken from a film. Marcello Mastroianni and Sophia Loren would certainly have loved it!
A granary becomes a bookshop and at the same time remains a cultural monument of China. SU Architects have created a place of the present where you can immerse yourself in the past.
The OLM Nature Escape is definitely a building with a recognisable character. How did it come about to plan a round building, what challenges are associated with the 360° angle and why is the shape also a symbol of sustainability? We spoke to architect Andreas Gruber about his first hospitality project, which has been thoroughly thought through!
