A sustainable four-star hotel, entirely clad in wood.

Feelviana concept sketch, room interior in watercolour

The project envisions a hotel designed to be inhabited rather than simply stayed in: a place devoted to leisure, comfort, and the quiet pleasure of being somewhere. It departs from the logic of a conventional hotel and proposes instead a calm retreat, occupied by a small number of guests who reside in distinct, individual rooms and share, whenever they choose, a sequence of common spaces designed for encounter.

Existing Hotel Feelviana among the pines

Inspired by Hotel Feelviana as it stands today, reimagining its interiors through a new lens while staying true to its philosophy of nature and the landscape that surrounds it.
