A Chilean hotel reflects its forested surroundings.
Based on what you have seen and read about this project, how would you grade it? Use the stars below to indicate your assessment, five stars being the highest rating.
Situated on a sloping, forested hill along Llanquihue Lake, Hotel Arrebol Patagonia is designed to fit in unobtrusively with the surrounding woodland. Four centenary trees towering above the two-story hotel inspired Chilean architect Harald Opitz to design a building that blends into its wooded surrounding. The exterior cladding of alerce wood cut into rugged brick-like shapes, gives the facade a varied texture and masks the steel and reinforced concrete structure of the16,145-square-foot hotel. Guestrooms are placed on the uppermost part of the site with views of a lake, while the public spaces, the lounge, restaurant, and meeting rooms are located on the main level.
