249 Design Hotel by Alberto Torres Wins Gold in A' Architecture Awards

Contemporary Retrofit Project in Gramado Earns Prestigious Architecture Recognition

COMO, CO, ITALY, July 30, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The A' Design Award, a highly respected recognition in the field of architecture design, has announced 249 Design Hotel by Alberto Torres as a Gold winner in the Architecture, Building and Structure Design category. This prestigious accolade spotlights the exceptional design and innovation demonstrated by Torres in creating a retrofit project that harmoniously integrates contemporary architecture with the vernacular style of Gramado, Brazil.

The 249 Design Hotel's Gold A' Design Award serves as a testament to its relevance and impact within the architecture industry. By successfully blending modern design elements with the traditional German-influenced architecture prevalent in Gramado, this project showcases how thoughtful retrofitting can enhance the built environment while respecting local heritage. The hotel's design offers a template for sustainable and context-sensitive development, aligning with current industry priorities.

Torres' award-winning design distinguishes itself through its masterful use of materials as a unifying element. Steel, wood, and stone are artfully employed to create a seamless connection between the hotel's interior and exterior spaces. The striking black steel frames that define the side facades echo the hotel lobby's expansive glass and steel panels, creating a cohesive visual language. Inside, the strategic placement of a stone fireplace volume against steel beams and wooden panels imbues the space with warmth and comfort.

The recognition bestowed by the A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is expected to inspire Torres Arquitetos to continue pushing the boundaries of design excellence in future projects. By setting a high standard for retrofitting existing structures, the 249 Design Hotel encourages the industry to explore innovative ways to blend the old and the new, creating spaces that are both functional and aesthetically remarkable. This award serves as a catalyst for the team to further refine their design approach and create architecture that positively impacts users and communities alike.

Project Members: The 249 Design Hotel was designed by Torres Arquitetos, with interior architecture by Marcio Verza. Alberto Torres led the architectural design, while BRS Sul served as the constructor for the project.
