HOTELS PROJECT REPORT


MICHELIN STAR


The Dopolavoro restaurant has been renovated into a Michelin-starred establishment using a steel structure and copper roof


programme started in 2000 – but that was curtailed in 2004.


The island offered amenity for its workers, doctors and nurses, including what was called the Dopolavoro (‘After Work’) building where they were able to relax after shifts in the hospital. This has been renovated into a Michelin-starred restaurant with the same name, one of the key draws of the resort, sitting adjacent to the private landing stage. Milan-based architects Matteo Thun & Partners were appointed by JW Marriott in June 2011 to address the whole site to provide a resort and spa for a high-end demographic including families and couples. Construction started in June 2013 and was completed in under two years, with all works being finalised in April 2015. The resulting complex has been widely acclaimed and last year picked up the MIPIM Award for Best Hotel & Tourism project, as well as the European Hotel Design Award of the Year.


While the hotel has now been open over a year, feedback from the guests to the client has led to the architects being commissioned to design a children’s pool and additional sun bed areas for the resort, including a new deck.

Matteo Thun’s undertook nothing less than a transformation of the whole island, including conversion of the main hospital building and 17 other smaller early-20th century brick buildings (mainly ware- houses) into 266 hotel rooms, suites, restaurants, bars, plus the spa. The practice revisited and improved the internal layout achieved in the partial restoration of the main building. Built “in the character of pre-war Italian Rationalism,” says project architect Luca Colombo, the main building saw the prac- tice add a large rooftop terrace including an infinity pool, a bar and a restaurant offering views across the lagoon to St Mark’s Square. Largely following the original layout of the interiors, with their wide corridors, glass doors and terraces, Matteo Thun adapted the hospital into a luxury hotel with 230 contemporary Venetian- styled suites.


The zone including the main hotel build- ing also includes a conference centre and an Art Nouveau brick building, the former residence of the hospital’s director now converted into a luxury villa. The architects’ masterplan reorganised the island into three parts, each defined by its abundantly green, landscaped areas.
