Söhne & Partner Architekten have created the first self check-in hotel near Vienna, Austria. The structure of Hotel Caldor emerges along the road. From the centre cross point the hotel is buckling. The buckling gives the Hotel a high profile from the main road – both directions. At the cross point you find the lobby, the main access, the check in machine, etc.

The curtain wall is on hand the protection against weathering for the cross point. On the other hand it also gives shade and shelter. The perforation of the façade panels plays with the logo of the hotel, abstract its. Interesting spaces inside / outside are created which emphasizes the communication between them. The design team included, Thomas Bärtl, Michael Prodinger and Guido Trampitsch.
