At one of the most beautiful places of the Starnberger See, the entire Oberland, almost directly opposite the nationally known Roseninsel, it is planned to build a 4-star-superior wellness and conference hotel. Additional gastronomy and beer garden areas are also to invite day guests to stay.
After a very wide-ranging design process, we ultimately decided on a thematic approach that picks up on the regional history: around the Rose Island there have been pile dwellings since 6000 BC, which were even declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011. Based on this, we developed an abstracted, modern pile-dwelling settlement staggered up the hillside.
A strict, thematically based material concept (dark natural materials), as well as the avoidance of large-scale forms, allows the building masses of the complex to largely disappear against the background of the forested lateral moraine.
Above a base zone of greened Nagelfluh blocks rises a first row of pile dwelling huts, occupied by gastronomy for day - and for hotel guests. This first row shields the wellness and conference areas behind it and visually hides the actual hotel wing.
