Hotel complex with apartments, a concert hall and a spa
The site is located on a natural hill that can be reached from the center of Kislovodsk via a terrenkur route passing through the Kislovodsk National Park. The main idea of the project is to integrate the architecture seamlessly into the landscape while treating nature with care. The architecture of the main building volume follows the natural lines of the hill, and all structures on the site are positioned to preserve as many existing trees as possible. The concert hall is placed on the slope itself, with the cantilevered part of the building echoing the shape of a natural terrace, where an observation deck with picturesque views is arranged.
Thanks to the semi-enclosed configuration, the site develops its own microclimate with a botanical garden and artificial ponds that form the main axis of the area, along which the primary pedestrian path runs. It is also possible to walk along the entire length of the building through an open gallery that provides access to the spa, indoor pool, hotel, restaurants, and medical center. Entrances to the apartments are placed on the outer side of the building.
As a result, the complex becomes a continuous landscape journey, where architecture supports rather than dominates its natural surroundings.
