# Protruding Roof Architecture The Hotel in Czorsztynie Mimics the Forms of Nearby Hilltop Homes By Amelia Roblin | Published 2014-02-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-in-czorsztynie References: [archdaily](http://www.archdaily.com/479812/kwk-promes-designs-hotel-in-pieniny-mountains/) & [kwkpromes.pl](http://www.kwkpromes.pl/hotel-w-czorsztynie-2/1874) The inspiration for the Hotel in Czorsztynie came from the [pitched-roof cottages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kumiki-architects) that can be found close to the lodge's proposed site in the hills of southern Poland. Avoiding the flood-prone valleys, [KWK Promes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yaw-house) proposed to perch this chalet on high ground too, but strove not to construct buildings that would overpower the landscape. As such, Robert Konieczny's team plans to dig into the slopes and bury many of the rooms beneath the earth. From behind, the Hotel in Czorsztynie looks like a lone pair of separate [triangular cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kymaia-hotel) that project out over the descending topography. It's in these dark geometric masses that the sleeping quarters would be arranged. An array of windows would provide incredible views of the picturesque terrain around these modern monuments. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Eco-friendly Building Designs:** The protruding roof architecture of the Hotel in Czorsztynie showcases the potential for sustainable and low-impact building designs. - **Integration of Natural Elements in Building Structure:** The Hotel in Czorsztynie's design emphasizes the integration of natural elements, like the surrounding hills, in building structures for a more harmonious environment. - **Geo-architecture:** With the Hotel in Czorsztynie being built partially underground, there is potential for further exploration of geo-architecture and the use of earth as a building material. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Construction:** The development of eco-friendly building designs presents an opportunity for the construction industry to create more sustainable structures to fulfill the growing demand for environmentally conscious options. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** The Hotel in Czorsztynie's unique design showcases potential for the tourism and hospitality industry to attract more environmentally conscious customers seeking unique and sustainable accommodations. - **Architecture and Design:** The protruding roof architecture of the Hotel in Czorsztynie presents potential for disruptive innovation in the architecture and design industry with a focus on sustainable and integrated building designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mountainous Holiday Ski Resorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/not-a-hotel-rusutsu.md) - [Wedge-Shaped Stealthy Cottages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbora-vokac-taylor-architect.md) - [Trapezoidal Concrete Forest Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ksa-studen.md) - [Landscape-Integrated Holiday Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plener-istebna.md) - [Upward-Pitched Roof Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oneill-mcvoy-architects.md) - [Mountainous Alpine Hotel Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olympic-spa-hotel.md) - [Modern Holiday Mountain Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/krasnyk-house.md) - [Geometric Timber Holiday Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amunt.md) - [Pyramid-Like Suburban Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oza-sabbeth-architects.md)
