The project’s objective was the reconstruction and transformation of a three-story building from the early 30’s into a short-term accommodation lodge.
The main challenge was to give the building its identity back, lost after years of continuous transformations.
We focused on restructuring the exterior façades and courtyard, at the same time adapting the interiors to modern needs and lifestyle, operating with low-cost/high-impact approach.
