the project appears to emerge topographically from the ground, a horizontal volume rather than a vertical form, which would instead distract from the natural environment. it was agreed that the massif had to remain the focal point of the region.

as much of the landscape in this region has been physically shaped by the wind, cazú zegers arquitectura constructed the hotel to seem as just another dune, formed by nature, which would also be reminiscent of a fossil found on the shore.

completely clad in washed lenga wood, the exterior will age with a silvery sheen to give the appearance of an old timber house, worn away by winter.
internally the brief called for warm, intimate spaces, linked with internal pathways and corridors, which would starkly contrast the resort’s surroundings.
