Architecture Neri & Hu
The walls and the courtyard are a strong landscape element that unify the complex while creating layered spaces that seek to redefine tradition with a modern architectural language. Light peeking unpredictably through crevices offers unique perspectives and space for contemplation. Most of the roofs are set below the height of the walls, which hides the retreat from afar.
Interior design Neri & Hu
rely on sunlight to create a spellbinding visual language. An abandoned warehouse now houses a theater, an exhibition space, and a restaurant where guests dine on long, communal tables. The rooms are awash in natural materials—a thoughtful blend of dark wood and stone where pastel chairs and white walls add the right touch of softness. Skylights allow for the ultimate communion with nature.

Here, guests can partake in cooking classes and dine on organic dishes at long, communal tables that break down walls between strangers and create a community among travelers.
