Theconcept for the hotel was inspired by its location - two lakes and agreen valley surrounded by the steep, forested slopes of Belluno'sAlpine foothills, where the dominating element is the woodlands. Thiswas the key factor on which DanieleMenichini's architect's studiobased their project and ToscanaInteriorscarried it out. The woods were abstracted and reconstructed insidethe bedrooms to create a link with the outside, featuring sycamore,linden, willow, birch, poplar, elm, beech and sweet chestnut trees.Trees outside and trees indoors, creating a comfortable and welcomingenvironment, a warm and physical place to spend the night, dreamingof sleeping outdoors under a starry sky.
Anew look for these 8bedrooms,on two floors, close to the swimming pool. The interior design planmaintains their original floor plan and internal distribution, whichincludes a vestibule with wardrobe space opposite the bathroom,before entering the sleeping area. The wardrobe (no doors) has alacquered panel as a back wall, which supports the storage elements(chest of drawers with safe for valuables and container for extrapillows and bedcovers). Below is an open shelf for suitcases andabove, another for hanging clothes. A pantograph-engraved door, withhorizontal "bar code" design, leads to the bathroom, whosetiles recall split face stone with their tones of white, grey andalmost gold.
Enteringthe sleeping area, one sees two opposing walls bearing motifsof a stylised wood,creating the atmosphere for the design concept. On the side thathouses the desk and relaxation area, the lacquered silhouettes oftrees stand out against a wall entirely covered in mirror glass. Onthe opposite wall above the beds, the tree silhouettes are made ofwood and stand out in relief against the lacquered panelling.Reflections between both walls create an authentic intertwining oftrunks and branches that multiplies the woodland effect. One moreelement gives each room a distinctive appearance - sculptural piecesin different colours, recalling the various hues of leaves throughoutthe changing seasons, and which are actually comfortablechaise-longues for relaxing in.
Thoughthe design of all rooms is the same, each has its specially createdroom perfume and its own colour and style of fabrics, deriving from astudy of the trees chosen to represent the local woodlands.
Naturehas not only been chosen to inspire the design, but is alsoincorporated into planning the systems. Underfloor heating is poweredby solar panels. Tap flow is regulated to save water. And materialsused, both standard and customised, come from manufacturers who arecertified or use certified products, which are environmentallyfriendly, sustainable and can be recycled.
