is the architect Matteo Thun the idea of \u200b\u200ba hotel "inside the mountain." A building that, by using the basic principles of ecological design, is partially submerged under the ground and using locally sourced materials and design principles for passive heating and cooling the interior.
The idea comes from an existing hotel called Bella Vista Trafoi Ortler located in the Province of Bolzano in Alto Adige. Built on the side of a slope of a mountain in the Stelvio National Park, eleven individual units of land they sit like bumps "low-profile" facing south, each topped with a generous projection and a green roof that helps regulate the internal temperature throughout the year, in addition to the triple-glazed windows, which are also useful for noise control.
Regarding the heating system, heat is conveyed through a geothermal pump that uses the constant temperature of a local source to provide energy-efficient heating, cooling and even necessary.
The complex resembles a collection of hobbit houses, who live in perfect harmony with nature, as evidenced by the huge windows that used to take advantage of the stunning uninterrupted views of the mountains that give a view worthy of a postcard. The new eco-hotel, one of many that are emerging in recent years in the alpine zone, was recently appointed as KlimaHotel "international recognition for those structures that help the tourists to follow the path of sustainability in all phases of project development. The facility will be completed in 2011.
