Apfelhotel[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Stefan Rier, co-founder of noa*network of architecture, tells us how the idea of sauna in a small green hill was born. This small project shows us how today a certain type of architecture is more interested in communicating some messages instead of looking for formal styles.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_single_image image=”14145″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1558799742695{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1558303085096{margin-top: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”]

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Can you tell us about the Applesauna project for the Apfelhotel Torgglerhof?
The client is a peasant family that grows apples and all its derivatives. One of the things that impressed me most about that period was the apple juice and the vinegar. Every time I finish it I have to go back to Saltusio, because it is the only one I really like! The life of this family revolves around apples and for them the simple lifestyle is a philosophy of life. I’ll tell you all this because we wanted this little project to reflect the values that are dear to these people. This is how the Applesauna idea was born.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”14142″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1558799757041{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1558303095182{margin-top: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”]

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Inside there is a sauna overlooking the apple orchard but outside, on its surface, it is still possible to plant trees. This intervention together with a small area destined for the rooms, obtained from the old barn, was a first intervention. Now we are doing a more important expansion that will significantly increase the number of rooms and where we will also have pools.[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”14140″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1558799771291{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1558303103758{margin-top: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”]
