SPA HOTEL BRÜNDL. A three-dimensional contour line
THE BUILDING.
The building is designed in a
contour line and, positioned on a sloping hill, it newly defines the piece of land on which it
is built. A design which attempts to absorb the pre-defined parameters of the
environment and which would appear to “reinforce” the natural surroundings.
To pool „ energy“, the building
itself has been conceived as a three-dimensional contour line. The building is
not erected as a straight structure but rather folded in on itself and twisted
out of the axis of its own three-dimensional nature (development of height).
A three-storey hall as a connecting
link between the two structures which, however, simultaneously has the quality
of serving as a multifunctional room and a tool which opens up into the
restaurant, bar, therapy zone, rooms and spa.
THE ARCHITECTS.
This unique project is a work of
TEAM M architects, directed by Wolfgang Steinlechner in co-operation with the
architect and artist ISA STEIN from ISA STEIN Studio.
THE ROOMS. THE SPA.
88 rooms have been designed which
take the points of the compass and noise zones into account. They offer perfect
comfort. The view from the hotel is a particular asset and has been accomplished
as a result of setting up the beds so that they face the windows. Five senses –
five colours. The colours of the „Bründl logo“ are mirrored in the colours of
the rooms. The colour concept and the idea of a contour line continue in the
swimming, wellness and sauna area as a separate element from the generous
relaxation rooms. The loungers from Andreas Thaler are a particular eye-catcher
since they have been made in the colours of the elements.
THE ART.
Art is perceptible in the hotel.
With the Pehböck Gallery, ISA STEIN has built a „networking plan“ of the rooms.
Work from artists such as Franz Blaas, Lorenz Estermann, Karl Mostböck, May
Holzapfel, Anatol Ak, Robert Mittringer, Wolfgang Zöhrer,
Regine Hadraba, Gerhard Müller, Gertraude Steinlechner, Wolfgang Stifter and
Georg Stifter can be found in three wings. In the fourth wing quotations from
these artists adorn the walls. Imaginary lines are created between the thoughts
and the work of the artists which are written down in 28 rooms. The hall gives a
new interpretation to the idea of lines. Thomas-M Mayrhofer (ART_HOF) develops
the theme of the hotel with his “people “in motion”. The lines of the people
are not always congruent; the “time” factor offers support with the lines,
helping them to be “sighted”. The sculpture on the ceiling of the hall is a new
idea of man via different kinds of perspectives. The design of the exterior
further reflects the art concept; a rolling path, accompanied by musical and
sensual structures. A hotel for the senses!
