Final updates, Alentejo Hotel Rural.

<< This post is work in progress. >>

The red lines below are the topics that will be developed as an introduction to the presentation of the whole project. This blog is an online platform where all of the professionals that are involved with the project can find and share information and submit related updates.

Brief intro to the concept. (coming soon)

Basic facts related to the property and infrastructures, building area and other specifications. (coming soon)

3D renderings of all the lodging and service units with references to building materials and technical details. (see here below)

Lodging units

10x "Monte" Suites

55,94m2.

9x "Eucalyptus" Suites

162m2.

9x "Sobreiros" Suites

4x 224m2, 4x 340m2, 1x 378m2.

All of the different suites will share the same bed cabin structure,

the different sizes and features of the private gardens

will define the category of the rooms.

Bed cabin.

This light structure is a cabin made of a double layer of clear polycarbonate sheets

mounted on a supporting shell,

that could be made either of wood, different metals or the same polycarbonate.

The structure is then totally transparent

with full in-and-out visibility on the surrounding private garden.

(Example of similar structure here below.)

Only in the case of the 10 "Monte Suites"

the polycarbonate sheets used for the lateral walls are translucent and not transparent

while the roof remains clear.

The building shape recalls the typical "Monte Alentejano"

The surface is 24,58m2

comprising a queen size bed, wardrobe for two, washbasin, shower box and WC.

The shelter gets plenty of light during the day and glows from within at night.

The design of the building allows natural cooling ventilation.

The structure lays on top of a perimetrical frame

made with used railroad wooden beams.

A shade system will provide protection from direct sun exposure

together with the shelter of the surrounding trees.

House in Yamasaki

Corrugated polycarbonate panels are used for outer walls of bathroom and sun-room to take in solar radiation. Moisture, water absorbing and heat-retaining sheets of greenhouse use are inserted in between the corrugated panels and structure. The inside of the walls are formed with a heat insulating layer of polycarbonate clear hollow sheet.
