Pizota Hotel

The project is a 150-room hotel that can only be reached by sea, because the closest road is sixty kilometers away and there is no other connecting path.

The hotel program had to be completed without destroying the paradisiacal features of the place.

We started out with the idea of painting lines on the territory: ribbons that are interwoven with the vegetation and that configure the roofs of the rooms.

The biggest problem was how to address the accessibility of the rooms without having to build service roads. The possibility of connecting them via paths was set aside because of the huge earthworks this entailed.

The solution came up after thinking about how a train moves through the landscape: following the topography and spanning it with bridges when it is too complex.

That is how we tackled the project in this case: the bands containing the bedrooms follow the territory and huge girders permit spanning it when the level is too high.

Below these bridge-beams an oblique elevator links up with the corridor that leads to the hotel rooms via footbridges.
