Heaven & Hell

Hotel extension, South Tyrol

The Alpin Panorama Hotel Hubertus in Olang offers its guests peace and relaxation in a stylish ambience in the heart of the Dolomites. Nature and architecture – designed by local heroes NOA* – NETWORK OF ARCHITECTURE – seem to flow seamlessly into one another and dissolve the physical boundaries between heaven and earth. The best example: the spectacular, free-floating sky pool, the debarked tree supports in the rooms and, since May 2022, the new “Heaven & Hell” Sky Spa.

Hotel project in South Tyrol realised with CLTPLUS

The name says it all. The two-storey wellness platform once again turns the architectural world of South Tyrol on its head.

While the elegant shapes of the steel construction are reminiscent of the region’s original alpine huts, the actual realisation is based on a completely new perspective: connected to the hotel’s new relaxation room via a filigree footbridge, parts of the objects hang upside down from the platform.

The nature of the surrounding mountain world remains the constant star of the scenery.

In keeping with this and in keeping with the design of the existing structures, the designers opted for CLTPLUS cross-laminated timber from THEURL for the surfaces. Thanks to the high degree of prefabrication, the construction time was also kept extremely short.
