The result is a light wooden construction which uses materials that the region has to offer, aiming for low energy consumption. The “skin” or “protective shell” consists of strips of wood placed in order to bring transparency to the inside of the balconies. This shading allows for the control of the glassed area whilst the building’s shape and its position assure transversal ventilation in all the hotel rooms and other areas. The outdoor central patio reinforces the transparency and simultaneously, as it is closed off, the privacy of hotel guests.
