Antonio Citterio and Partners
Set along the gentle slopes at the edge of Bormio, the Eden Hotel reinterprets Valtellina’s building tradition through a cluster of narrow wooden volumes with pitched stone roofs. The composition recalls the spontaneous aggregation of Alpine settlements, with recessed loggias that introduce depth and mediate between interior and landscape. Large glazed openings frame views and draw daylight deep into the interiors. High-performance envelopes and recessed façades enhance passive thermal comfort. Rooms in untreated larch evoke a warm, essential atmosphere rooted in the local context.
