Self-introduction

• Symbolism. The circle is an ancient symbol that signifies wholeness and harmony. Be inside the circle means to be in the sacred space, the entrance to which is open only to the elect. No one knows what kind of experience we will get inside, since the high white walls hide this secret.  

• Journey. Going on a journey we leave the circle of our usual life, go beyond the scope of what we have learned and studied. We are expanding the boundaries, opening up to the new, and every single moment opens up the potential for new experiences. So, the time spent in the room is no less important for the traveler. Once you go inside any of the blocks, your adventure will continue, because the architectural solution is not standard and predictable. This is a surprise, a new experience, which you can learn only by crossing the border and then being inside the circle. 

• Life. The round dwelling has historically been characteristic of nomadic peoples, that is, people constantly moving from place to place. In this case, this is the traveler’s place of life. Inside there are comfortable bedroom, toilet, bathroom, wardrobe - a set of a standard hotel room. However, there is an advantageous difference - a common open view room a floor above. Strictly speaking, this is not a room, but a terrace. Terrace with walls around the perimeter, which hide adjacent buildings from the guest and offer a view of the unique mountain landscape. Thus, nature becomes part of the house, part of the interior. 

• Surroundings. A familiar hotel room can be greatly changed by a special inscription of it in the surroundings. The ground floor of each villa is hidden by a mountainside. There is only an entrance that leads us through different rooms of different configurations, purposes and volumes. In each room in the ceiling there is a window - the focal point of the internal space oriented to one of the surrounding mountain peaks. Thus, the inner space is subordinated to the connection with the most important that is around - mountains not touched by man. 

• Structure. On the site there are two types of villas designed for different capacities. The first floor in each type is residential. It has bedrooms, toilets and dormitories. Communication with the upper open room (roof terrace) is carried out by screw ladders. The buildings are solved in one material - concrete, which has a constructive and architectural function. The integrity of the conceptual solution is expressed in every aspect and subordinates planning, spatial and constructive solutions. Everything is done in order to fully experience the white mountains around.
