Green symbiosis: the tree house
Green Lodge represents a virtuous oasis of peace where architecture meets nature, designed for those seeking an escape from daily routine in a sustainable luxury retreat.
Located within the Terme Preistoriche Resort & Spa park, the project, developed by Studio Apostoli, integrates modern architecture and deep respect for the environment.
This dialogue between living spaces and natural surroundings was inspired by the client’s desire to offer state-of-the-art hospitality that defines wellness as a continuum between indoors and outdoors.
The concept behind the design of the Green Lodges is to offer an immersive experience for guests, where the boundary between indoors and outdoors blurs, allowing nature to become an integral part of everyday life.
The trees in the park are not only decorative but central elements of the suites, enhanced through large windows that offer privileged views of the surrounding greenery and encourage continuous visual integration with the landscape.
For construction, sustainable techniques and natural materials were used, including prefabricated structures and finishes in fir and larch wood, chosen for their environmentally friendly qualities and natural appearance that changes over time without treatment.This construction approach reflects the commitment to a minimal ecological footprint.
For interiors, Glamora’s wallcoverings such as Anacapri, Agua de sueño, Mediterraneo, Arsenic and Selva, realised on GlamTrace in cellulose fibre nonwoven fabric, were selected for their soothing tones and patterns that evoke the surrounding nature.
These subjects, positioned in rooms with privileged viewpoints, enrich the environments with a tactile and visual dimension, creating unique atmospheres that invite relaxation and contemplation.
Each suite presents a theme related to the habitat around it, explored through natural motifs or abstract patterns that reflect the local flora and fauna.
The approach to the customisation of spaces has avoided clear separations between spaces, ensuring a fluid experience that extends from the outside to the inside, with a careful study of privacy and visual integration.
In conclusion, the Green Lodges are an excellent example of how hospitality can harmonise with respect for the environment, combining luxury and sustainability in a realisation that celebrates the nature of the Euganean Hills.
