\"Sanatorium<\/div>\n

Architecture studio Sn\u00f8hetta<\/a> has released images of its vision for a hotel in Aino and Alvar Aalto<\/a>‘s iconic 1930s sanatorium in Paimio, Finland<\/a>, which will include turning patient rooms into bedrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sn\u00f8hetta<\/a> revealed that Paimio Sanatorium, which was completed in 1933 as a place of healing for tuberculosis patients, will now become a hotel complete with wellness and cultural spaces.<\/p>\n

\"Auditorium
The old surgery wing will be turned into an auditorium<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The former surgery wing will be transformed into a flexible, two-storey auditorium that can accommodate up to 200 people. It will be clad in birch slatted wall that nods to the Aaltos’ architectural language and will be used for technical installations and acoustic performance.<\/p>\n

The wing will also be given a new visitor entrance (top image), which Sn\u00f8hetta says will improve circulation throughout the building and mean that events can be hosted independently of the rest of the site.<\/p>\n

\"Hotel
Some hotel rooms will have birch-veneer bathroom units<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Paimio Sanatorium’s patient wing, meanwhile, will be turned into a “calm and understated” hospitality area, with patient rooms turned into bedrooms.<\/p>\n

These will be informed by the original design, with some pairs of rooms combined to create larger suites.<\/p>\n
