Designed by native architects Adriana Levisky and Estratégia Urbana, the property features a ground floor building inside the hotel’s woods, which connects new areas to the old ones with its staircases and ramps. Here, furniture becomes more than an invitation to sit but rather adds an extra layer to the garden landscape.

The integration of spaces is made by wooden decks, which also serve for entertaining and interactive activities with guests. Thinking about the purpose of this building, the environments were designed to be modular and flexible according to activity type and age group, which can be reduced, expanded, or even integrated into the external area with the use of glass partitions. Levisky chose the mmcité brand for furbishing: „I like how Sinus benches attend with grace, aesthetic sophistication, diversity and comfort to all the prerequisites,“ she comments.

Giving comfort while making a statement – meet the Sinus collection

Expanding the original concept of tree grilles, Sinus was created from a number of separate benches with an unmistakable expression. Strong steel plates are easily bent on a slightly trapezoidal profile with an almost invisible rib rendering a totally solid shape in the sinus stool. The dot perforation is a throwback to the genuine aesthetics of the 1960s. The combination of a unique seat pattern with plastic ’button pads’ thermally isolates the unpleasantly cold metal while providing the ultimate sitting comfort. A subtle yet important detail of the design is the option to have the stool optically „grow“ right out of the pavement. The galvanized steel sheet structures are also available, cured with powder coating or left without a surface finish.
