From our friends at DesignBoom:
Terme Preistoriche Resort & Spa in Montegrotto Terme (PD) in Italy introduces the Preistoriche Green Lodge designed by Studio Apostoli, showcasing an eco-friendly approach to hospitality. Seven suites are integrated into four wooden stilted structures, interconnected through a raised system of ramps, walkways, and accessible terraces. The project preserves the roots of age-old trees using 160 micro piles to support new constructions and outdoor spaces. Architect Alberto Apostoli prioritizes tree preservation, ensuring the lodge placements embrace the existing trees. The lodges, clad in larch slats, employ a wood-based and eco-compatible system, featuring a heating system powered directly by thermal water for zero CO2 emissions. The lodges boast unique locations, sustainable construction, and a harmonious balance with nature, aligning with Studio Apostoli’s holistic philosophy.
