LINE

The motif of the line, once a symbol of restriction and lack of freedom, is transformed in the design of the hotel complex into a defining architectural element—spatial, functional, and symbolic. The building responds to the landscape character of Czech Canada and seeks to restore a sense of balance to the site. The articulation of the exterior is reflected in the use of materials and light, which together create an atmosphere of calm, security, and openness.

Through its position, the main volume of the hotel defines the eastern entrance area, with services presented behind glazed façades, while to the west, a “private” landscape extends all the way to the building.

Within the floor plan, the conceptual and circulation LINE is expressed in the organization of the ground floor, separating guest areas from service and operational facilities. On the second and third floors, the LINE takes the form of a central north–south corridor. It divides the hotel rooms into those facing east, set directly against the façade and offering expansive views, and deeper west-facing rooms oriented towards the hotel’s private park.

The façades of the hotel floors are conceived in two layers: a primary façade finished in tinted render with mica aggregate, and a projecting timber outer skin. Together, these elements interact with sunlight, cast shadows, and reflections around the entire building. At the same time, the timber layer forms a protective screen, reinforcing the sense of privacy and security behind the glazed surfaces and loggias of the hotel rooms.

New-build hotel with a capacity of 80 beds, including an adjoining restaurant, wellness facilities, and a 25 m swimming pool.

The building comprises one underground and three above-ground floors. The underground floor is located entirely below ground level, while the ground floor is approximately half embedded in the terrain. The upper floors rise above ground level and feature recessed loggias.

The primary load-bearing system consists of reinforced concrete floor slabs, with vertical load-bearing structures combining reinforced concrete and ceramic masonry. Non-load-bearing partitions are constructed from ceramic masonry.

The building is topped with a flat roof, partially designed as an extensive green roof.

The façade of the above-ground part of the building features an ETICS external thermal insulation system with a quartz aggregate finish, complemented by projecting elements made of larch profiles. The ground-floor façade combines a lightweight glazed curtain wall system with stone-clad walls.

The building services and technical equipment are primarily located on the underground floor, including the swimming pool technology, as well as on the roof and within the recessed section of the ground floor.
