The Refuge - A Hotel On Stromboli Island

Refuge is a hotel located on Stromboli Island (Italy). This volcanic archipelago welcomes an increasing traffic of tourists, who hike around the crater. Refuge aims at hosting visitors for the night, while offering a respite to the hikers. The scheme uses a circular shape to curate a 360-degree view on the landscape, while sheltering inside a patio and its pool. The circular ring is composed of a sequence of rooms and bathrooms, interrupted by a lobby, meeting rooms, and an amphitheatre overlooking the volcano. As the sun sets, the pool acts as a natural mirror, reflecting the erupting volcano.
