Silena: Magic in the Moor / noa* network of architecture
“Oh, it’s scary to go over the moor …” (Annette von Droste-Hülshoff – 1842)
Moors have always been mystical places full of secrets and drifting moods. The specific characteristic of such a genius loci served as the central design inspiration for noa*’s (network of architecture) project, which entailed the redesign and extension of the former “Moarhof” hotel at the end of the Valser valley, which is surrounded by moorland at about 1,300m altitude.
