A few days ago, Hotel Bohinj with its new apearance officially opened its doors. Riko, in partnership with Tosidos, provided the wooden structure and other construction and finishing work.

By renovating the Bohinj hotel, Damian Merlak, the developer, while reviving the Bohinj accommodation facilities, accomplished an architectural feat, thus  enhancing the hospitality of Lake Bohinj. The perfect location of the hotel, the natural resources surrounding it and the accommodation history of the town were successfully integrated in this particular architectural solution by the architecture bureau  Ofis arhitekti, whereas Riko was entrusted with the preparation of technological solutions, the implementation of the entire building envelope and façade. The envelope of the building was retrofitted by installing a new, improved insulation of the existing construction and energy efficient triple glazed larch windows. The façade of the hotel has larch cladding with vertical and horizontal beams with concealed guttering, lightning conductors and other installations, façade and roof panelling, balcony partition walls, and sliding and wing shutters. The entire larch cladding is treated with a special coating to simulate natural accelerated weathering, which over time, will acquire the natural silver-grey patina. In the interior Riko installed plasterboard linings, carried out plastering and painting, installed doors in the public area of the hotel, also mostly in larch cladding, thus completing the design of the public area, embelished with details inspired by local tradition.

Riko’ wealth of experience in timber construction has thus been successfully integrated into the entire retrofit project. We are pleased that the tourist facilities display Riko’s know-how and sustainable goals. So, Hotel Bohinj now proudly joins the Prekmurje village designed by Riko, and Riko’s Slovenian wooden pavilion  at EXPO Dubai 2020 will soon be on display to the world public.
