THE HOTEL — The new Hotel des Horlogers is an evolution on the hotel typology. Instead of a generic slab building in the Vallee de Joux, the new hotel rises from the surrounding landscape and gently unfolds onto the site. The simultaneous interweaving of the building with the topography engages the community and visitors of Le Brassus.
SLAB BUILDING — A compact hotel with a single loaded corridor is stacked in slabs.
VIEWS & TRANSPARENCY — The expanded slabs create views and transparency between the streets and scenic landscapes, while also forming accessible terraces for amenities tucked under the rooms.
CONTINUOUS CIRCULATION — The slabs tilt softly to merge, creating a path for continuous interior circulation.
TERRACES — The slabs slide outwards to create terraces towards Switzerland's scenic Vallee de Joux.
