Project description:

Lake Garda is considered one of the most enchanting beauties of Northern Italy, a freshwater mirror that extends for over 2300 square kilometers between Lombardy and Veneto. A very famous holiday destination, it boasts an infinity of pretty villages among which Sirmione stands out, the small jewel of the Lombard shore.

Here stands Hotel Ocelle Thermae & Spa, a 4-star avant-garde structure and boutique hotel with adjoining SPA that uses the famously beneficial thermal water of the Fonte Boiola.

The result of a happy synthesis between environments devoted to relaxation and views of the blue waters of the lake and the lush green of Monte Baldo, the hotel is designed to offer personalized therapies and treatments tailored to guests.

In this spirit of tailored hospitality, the property turned to the PMO office of KE to develop a weatherproof covering for three different areas - facing the lake, the outdoor thermal pool and a relaxation area - in which the symbolic interaction between inside and outside was maintained. The goal was to obtain more covered space in the bar/restaurant area facing the lake, to create a protected environment with side closures and a retractable roof in the pool area, to create an expansion of the relaxation area outside, completely closed with sunroof and side curtains to protect guest are what led to the choice of the Kedry Skylife pergola.

Identified as the best solution, Skylife includes movable louvers that offer the flexibility of being able to open the roof completely or any combination of light and air. Kedry Skylife in white was the perfect color choice to complement the building.

To complete the project, the Vertika closure system with Soltis and Cristal: the KE drop-down awnings are designed to close each pergola laterally – on one or more sides – creating new protected spaces. Available in various types, these fabric closures can be used in a variety of situations, allowing you to create new functional spaces, to be enjoyed in any weather condition. To ensure evening use, an LED strip system illuminates the installed structures from the inside, enhancing the mood of the sunset and evening hours.

In this new project Hotel Ocelle Thermae & Spa, KE executes its meticulous ability and undisputed experience in managing open spaces. Light, living comfort and protection in any weather, assume the importance of leadership in this demonstration of the magnificent fluidity between in and out.
