About Maestoso Hotel
Maestoso is a hotel created through the renovation of an existing building from the 1970s. The design offers a sustainable approach to updating old hotel buildings that need a new character and new facilities. The main element is the facade structure, which supports the added balconies and blends the appearance of the building with the surrounding landscape. The facade was parametrically modeled and made from wooden beams shaped by CNC milling. Inside, the walls were brushed to reveal the rough concrete structure, and furnishing of wood and metal adds warmth.

- Production Technology
- The realization of the project required a completely three dimensional approach to the structure as well as the interior organization of the space. The façade was parametrically modeled and produced with CNC milling out of wooden beams. On the inside, the walls were brushed and cleaned to reveal the rough concrete structure. Furnishing made of wood and metal was inserted to add additional warmth to the interior space.
- Inspiration
- The main inspiration for the design can be found in the traditional white fence that surrounds the pastures of the white Lipizzaner horses. The fences are a recognizable regional motif that is carried onto the building envelope, creating a bond between the large hotel volume and the local landscape. The intent of the project was to propose a sustainable approach to hotel renovation, where instead of demolishing an old building, we propose a repurposing and expansion of the existing structure.
- Project Duration
- The project started in 2018 and was constructed in July 2021 in Lipica, Slovenia.
