THE DESIGN APPROACH WAS INTENDED TO GIVE A LIGHTWEIGHT EFFECT AND TO INTRODUCE A SENSE OF DYNAMISM TO THE ENTIRE CONSTRUCTION
Architrend Architecture’s project of Pietre Nere Resort had started when the main building was already completed with its classical design and heavy, symmetrical walls and windows.
The design approach was intended to give a lightweight effect and to introduce a sense of dynamism to the entire construction with large high-ceiling windows and doors connected with the surrounding area.
The result seems to confirm that design choices with contemporary materials and tecniques can make the difference realizing contemporary high quality design also starting from existing situation, as well as destabilizing classical and traditional fixed design approach.
