A minimalist architecture transforms a resort from the 80s into a sustainable retreat paradise.
The inspiration for the new suites at Reiters Reserve Supreme is derived from the philosophy of its own hotelier, who built the retreat area as a self-contained unit. Defining values of the design are honesty, innovation, and modesty. Genuine, natural materials of the highest quality and sustainability were selected for this purpose.
The spatial composition is dominated by restraint and minimalism, focusing on the essentials, as well as on efficiency and a willingness to create true qualities. The new suites are made from sustainably harvested solid wood from nearby regions, clay plaster and natural stone. They emerged by joining smaller rooms together to create functional and spacy suites for a flexible use. Various movable partitions and variable elements enable to fit the room to guests´ actual needs such as a tub in the living room, a retractable workspace, a sofa to fall asleep on (by BEHF and Wittmann) or a hidden kitchenette. Floor-to-ceiling pivot doors allow the bedroom to be opened/closed to the living area as required.
The entry into the suite is through a semi-transparent anteroom that separates it from the rest of the space. A bench and a quiet fountain act as a barrier between the lively social environment outside from a more secluded area inside a suite. In addition to enjoying breathtaking views from the spacious suite itself, guests can further enhance their well-being through options such as indulging in a Japanese soaking tub or utilizing various sports equipment.
The first two suites were completed in March 2023, and currently, the design is being rolled out to ten more suites.
