In the historic centre of San Candido, with ATTO Suites set beneath the magnificent Haunold mountains, a new guesthouse with seven holiday suites has been created, seeing itself as a "home away from home". On the ground floor, a new restaurant with farm-to-table concept uses the mountain-side guest garden and connects to the pedestrian zone via a new pathway. In the interest of the local population, the project also aims to have the given address eventually take on a more public character. The building's position and orientation, unlike its predecessor, are rooted in the historically grown building structure, allowing it to stand out as an independent building with its gabled front and carry on the character of the location.
Each of the suites is oriented towards at least two sides and sets its own loggia in front of the scene – whose star is the mountain panorama – similar to a theatre box. A drop-shaped ornamentation can be found throughout the project as a recurring element with references to Alpine traditions.
The use of regional wood such as spruce and fragrant stone pine matches the tinted insulating concrete façade, as well as the handcrafted terrazzo floors, plaster and roof tiles, which in colour and grain refer to the local Sesto brook stone. Many important historical buildings in the immediate vicinity were built from this stone - including the 12th century church. Thus the materials used in the new building also reflect the history of the place.
