Undergoing major expansion helmed by international firm ingenhoven architects, the complex will soon include a beautiful new oval building will 16 rooms, topped by a terraced alpine meadow on the roof.

The Lanserhof Lans combines the luxury of a hotel and modern patient care on par with the most advanced medical facilities in the world. The three-part complex comprises a main building and several annexes and extensions.

Natural materials and simple forms dominate the design of the extension. Its facade will feature balconies of varying depths that create an interesting rhythm and offer optimal wind protection. A green roof featuring seven private terraces will extend the surrounding Alpine meadow to the roof of the new building.
