Icaro Hotel: MoDusArchitects chose Unopiù
2021
recommended by Unopiù
ICARO HOTEL: a wooden colonnade frames the Dolomite mountains, blending art, design and architecture with an alpine heritage landscape.
At the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains and nestled within a web of ski slopes and hiking trails, MoDusArchitects www.modusarchitects.com has revamped Icaro Hotel www.hotelicaro.com as a stereometric volume in wood that quietly adds a new fragment to the built heritage of hospitality architecture of this unique protected area.
Positioned on the Alpe di Siusi (Seiser Alm) plateau at 1.900m above sea level and set within South Tyrol’s Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage site, the hotel’s humble origins date back to a simple 1930s mountain lodge. Granddaughter to the founder of the original Icaro lodge, Angelika Sattler commissioned MoDusArchitects to overhaul the structure and reimagine its identity. The various interventions include an underground parking extension, the separate staff quarters, a guest room addition, the reorganization of all of the common spaces including the pool area, and the sweeping, giant order colonnade of wood along the main façade that intercepts the breathtaking mountain views.
