Hotel Revier
Lenzerheide, Vaz/Obervaz, Switzerland
"If you reduce traveling and architecture to the essentials, you’ll get a free attitude of life with the most valuable experience.“
Luxury in simplicity
Close to nature, genuine, trend-oriented: When a hotel for outdoor athletes is reduced to the essentials, a free attitude to life arises, as well as an unconventional architectural concept for which a VW-Bus served as an inspiration.
The site-specific conditions determine the expression. The long, narrow building is situated on a cliffy terrain with a mighty forest in the background and follows the shore of the Heidsee with two slight kinks. The head part with lobby, bar and restaurant turns itself welcoming to the valley station of the Rothornbahn and is the common centre of the hotel. There you can eat, celebrate or chill-out. Upper four levels with a total number of 96 rooms are located on the solid ground floor plinth with its significant awning.
In the hotel itself, guests are surrounded by the charm of purity. All rooms are oriented to the west, facing the water and follow the image of an old VW-Bus: You park directly at the lake, open the trunk and feel free. A big bed from wall to wall and a room-high panorama window with ventilation wings intensify this impression. The rooms are optimised on just 15 square meters. The ceilings and walls are modules in plywood boards. Pure timber without any duplication – structure, space-separation and finishing at the same time. By arranging the rooms together, a double-wall structure, that improves the noise protection, arises. The bathroom is a multifunctional box put into the room.
The hotel combines the atmosphere of a mountain shelter with the feeling of freedom of a camper and the functionality of a cabin. Modern technology and genuine design meet each other in a natural way. This is visible on the inside as well as on the outside. The metal cladding of the solid building with vertical profiles demonstrates strictness. Only the facade of the hotel rooms is structured with metal frames. Apart from that, the building is a pure timber structure with a vertical cladding of roughly cut, untreated larch.
Modular living space
Distinctive core of the hotel are the rooms, for which a VW-Bus served as an inspiration. Each one presents itself in a modern and minimal way: A big bed from wall to wall, a room-high panorama window with narrow ventilation wings and a wide window sill, the compact bathroom in form of a box. Many carefully designed details make every room unique: The big radiator hidden in a niche to dry gloves and clothes, many hooks for the bulky things like a snowboard or other equipment. Thanks to the automatic folding, the bed can be easily used as a sofa.
In a bed width, the rooms are optimised on just 15 square meters. There are also four barrier-free and 28 triple rooms. Each cabin is a spruce board plywood construction and forms a structure, space-separation and finishing within only one layer. By arranging the rooms together, a double-wall structure, that improves the noise protection, arises. All the cabins are prefabricated – for an optimised building and assembling time period in situ.
