Johannis

green space = luxurious space

NOA refines the outdoor spaces of the Hotel Johannis in expanding the terraces of the rooms; the architecture of the ground floor melts with the nature.

The Hotel Johannis is located in the surroundings of Dorf Tirol/Tirolo (IT), embedded in a park with an extensive view across the valley. The family business was given a new face, with a redevelopment of the façade and the outdoor spaces. All the balconies of the guest rooms were transformed into 3,5 meter deep platforms, which can be used as extensions of the living area. In order to allow a direct access from the main building to the outdoor pool there was created an open connection with an organic visual language that flows into the park.

"...the transformation of the building changes with a changing perspective and is intensified with a ever altering filter of the materiality..."

the dialogue of the material

The functional demand was the enlarging of the terrace for the guest rooms of the Hotel Johannis for a great panorama but keeping a certain level of privacy; therefore an ambivalent railing was chosen. Vertical steel grids were fixed in the cantilevering balcony floor of massive wood that there was no need for a further substructure; the whole forms a homogeneous ribbon.
