Panorama: A constructive search of clues and traces

noa* write stories on, redefine, question and join together old and new. noa* finds its roots in the intent to study and revive the so called "genius loci" into a „genuine loci“ redefining the essence of place and space and extend and extends famaly-run hotel, already enforced in 3rd generation to a 4* Panorama hotel.

“...the intervention comprehends itself as a link between old and new, exterior and interior, cold and warm, top and bottom, before and after...”
- Lukas Rungger

The newly refurbished and extended Hotel is situated in „Kaltern an der Weinstrasse“, amidst one of the most famous vineyard regions in Italy. The family-run hotel was extended with a public ground floor level that includes a new Hotel-Lobby, a Parlour, a Wine-lounge and 3 restaurants as well as 20 spacious rooms and suites on the 3 upper floors. noa* managed to win the competition in 2010 taking place under the jury-presidency of one of south Tyrols most noted architects, Walter Angonese.

The recently finished Hotel will in future be extended to an overall 3.000m2 in a second building phase which includes the construction of a new wellness-facility containing indoor-outdoor-pool and spa-suites. The entire annex was realized in solid cross-laminated timber, while the actual construction-time amounted to 6 months. The finsihed structure is in line with the „climahouse“ B-criterias and sums up to a total area of 2000m2.
