The Floating Hotel by BSoD (1st Prize Winner)

Members: Elias Terzitta, Eugenia Bordini

Country: Italy

This award-winning residential treehouse is elevated from the ground amidst trees and supported through with a sturdy structure. Its design looks inspired from Arctic treehouse hotel that looks like floating in the mid air. To get best out of the mountain terrain, the treehouse façade has large glass windows that bring in loads of natural light and merges it with the surrounding area.

Every contestant came up with a unique idea but we are featuring the best entries from the competition below. The Floating Hotel by BSoD (1st Prize Winner) Members: Elias Terzitta, Eugenia Bordini Country: Italy This award-winning residential treehouse is elevated from the ground between trees and supported through a sturdy structure. Its design looks inspired from treehouse hotel that looks like floating in the mid air. To get best out of a mountain terrain, the treehouse façade has large glass windows that bring in loads of natural light and merge it with the surrounding area. Sightline by RGB (2nd Prize Winner) Members: Monica Bramanti, Stefano Gatti, Anna Rossi Country: Italy The design team proposed a pathway comprised of entertainment, accommodation and other elements molded into the surrounding landscape of the site. The design team wanted to create a connecting nature-filled pathway that visitors need to cross every time they are going to cabins and castle at the top. There will be black cabins and multi-functional units in between the pathway to the top for reading, relaxing and enjoying the panoramic views. Rest by Vitia (3rd Prize Winner) Members: Marco Testi, Sergio Vedovelli Country: Italy This concept revolves around creating tiny rest cabins where visitors can rest for a while and enjoy the mountain landscape. Over time, these cabins will dilapidate and become a shelter for shepherds and trekkers to the ancient Rocca. In near future, these cabins will also turn into ruins to match with the castle and the surrounding landscape.   Pedestal bridge by Aida (Gold Mention Team) Members: Thibaut Etcheverry, Romain Gaillard Country: France In the mission to create a tourist spot, the design team proposed to make a lightweight pedestrian bridge around the fortress that offer exceptional points of view of the prehistoric building to visitors. It will be elevated using less number of supports in order to make less impact on the surrounding environment. Moreover, there will be adjustable prefab shelters for travelers to relax. A landscape of folds by EFesto (Gold Mention Team) Members: Gaia Cella, Gaspar Canepa, Juan Octavio Ferreyra, Aleksandra Lukianova Country: Mexico In this project, the design team proposed to create a meandering corridor that can be used to navigate through the resort. Along with the walking platform, there will be hotel rooms, library, and restaurant in deep serenity. The cabins are integrated into the landscape to offer tranquility without disturbing natural beauty of the site. Bulb-shaped cabins by Alessandro De Nigris (Gold Mention Team) Members: Alessandro De Nigris, Marco Ansalone Country: Italy This project tries to establish a relation between architecture and nature. The design team has thought of placing bulb-shaped structures all around the construction site so that visitors have full freedom to stay at desired locations. New Castle Resort by Gregory De Giacomi (Gold Mention Team) Members: Gregory De Giacomi Country: Italy The designer’s approach is to place main accommodations as a single recognizable building while Castle apartments, treehouse hotels, and tiny landscape hotels are meant to be hidden from the immediate sight so that guests have to search for them. A plinth and pavilion on the top are two simple additions to connect all things together with the ruined castle.

To get best out of a mountain terrain, the treehouse façade has large glass windows that bring in loads of natural light and merge it with the surrounding area. Sightline by RGB (2nd Prize Winner) Members: Monica Bramanti, Stefano Gatti, Anna Rossi Country: Italy The design team proposed a pathway comprised of entertainment, accommodation and other elements molded into the surrounding landscape of the site. The design team wanted to create a connecting nature-filled pathway that visitors need to cross every time they are going to cabins and castle at the top. There will be black cabins and multi-functional units in between the pathway to the top for reading, relaxing and enjoying the panoramic views. Rest by Vitia (3rd Prize Winner) Members: Marco Testi, Sergio Vedovelli Country: Italy This concept revolves around creating tiny rest cabins where visitors can rest for a while and enjoy the mountain landscape. Over time, these cabins will dilapidate and become a shelter for shepherds and trekkers to the ancient Rocca. In near future, these cabins will also turn into ruins to match with the castle and the surrounding landscape.   Pedestal bridge by Aida (Gold Mention Team) Members: Thibaut Etcheverry, Romain Gaillard Country: France In the mission to create a tourist spot, the design team proposed to make a lightweight pedestrian bridge around the fortress that offer exceptional points of view of the prehistoric building to visitors. It will be elevated using less number of supports in order to make less impact on the surrounding environment. Moreover, there will be adjustable prefab shelters for travelers to relax. A landscape of folds by EFesto (Gold Mention Team) Members: Gaia Cella, Gaspar Canepa, Juan Octavio Ferreyra, Aleksandra Lukianova Country: Mexico In this project, the design team proposed to create a meandering corridor that can be used to navigate through the resort. Along with the walking platform, there will be hotel rooms, library, and restaurant in deep serenity. The cabins are integrated into the landscape to offer tranquility without disturbing natural beauty of the site. Bulb-shaped cabins by Alessandro De Nigris (Gold Mention Team) Members: Alessandro De Nigris, Marco Ansalone Country: Italy This project tries to establish a relation between architecture and nature. The design team has thought of placing bulb-shaped structures all around the construction site so that visitors have full freedom to stay at desired locations. New Castle Resort by Gregory De Giacomi (Gold Mention Team) Members: Gregory De Giacomi Country: Italy The designer’s approach is to place main accommodations as a single recognizable building while Castle apartments, treehouse hotels, and tiny landscape hotels are meant to be hidden from the immediate sight so that guests have to search for them. A plinth and pavilion on the top are two simple additions to connect all things together with the ruined castle.
