The competition entry represents the reuse of a rather crude hospitality facility from the ‘70s, marked by aluminum verandas. The project re-immerses the building in the picturesque mountain-locked landscape where the building distinguishes itself with its slender clock tower. The sequence of stone walls defines artificial surfaces that create a natural fortification on an elevated point of the city. Within the building, labyrinth-like paths and access ways cut though the orthogonal axes of the layout.
