023 Hotel Sochers

Selva di Val Gardena, Italy

A mountain hospitality project defined by a sculptural wooden volume, oriented to maximise panoramic views of the Dolomites.

The architectural geometry is shaped to optimise views toward the Dolomites, forming a sculptural wooden volume organised around a generous central lobby. Roof forms and façade elements reinterpret local vernacular architecture through a contemporary architectural language rooted in the mountain context.

Two main wings are oriented toward the valley and accommodate the guest rooms together with the restaurant and bar. A third wing hosts a multifunctional space that can operate as a bar, breakfast room, or VIP lounge, with an independent entrance. Fully glazed façades and strategically positioned skylights provide uninterrupted 360-degree views, framing both the valley below and the surrounding mountain peaks.

Wellness facilities are located underground and open directly onto the landscape, creating high-quality outdoor spaces while preserving the natural topography and minimising the visual impact on the terrain.
