The Mivka Hotel doesn't look like a hotel at all. Instead, it looks more like a giant bamboo forest. Considering that it was created to be a naturalistic extension of its already-forested site, I guess I'm not too far off the mark with that one.
Conceived by Slovenian architectural firm Enota, the Mivka Hotel will be located in Bled, Slovenia. With a clustered, curving aesthetic, the Mivka Hotel ensures not only privacy, but also that the structure will age gracefully with time. Like one huge hut, it also has a sense of community that hotels and resorts can often lack. The Mivka Hotel's rather open concept just solidifies this feeling. I hope it comes into fruition.
