The complex is situated on sloped terrain; the buildings are arranged in a picturesque manner, respecting the logic of the site and the landscape features. All spaces offer views of Lake Ladoga and the surrounding islands.

On the right side of the site, along the shoreline, are the cottages. Their architectural configuration and surrounding vegetation ensure privacy for guests. Higher up on the slope are the guestroom blocks. Each room has its own separate entrance from the grounds, panoramic windows, and a terrace.

On the left side of the complex are the public facilities: the spa, restaurant, bar, and library, which will also be accessible to non-resident visitors. These are interconnected by multi-level terraces that expand their capacity during the warm season.

The project also includes the construction of a pedestrian bridge from the Sortavala side and a pier for small private boats on the eastern side of the island. Landscaping will feature small architectural forms — benches, amphitheaters, gazebos — as well as site lighting.

The hotel’s architecture references Karelian wooden architecture of the early 20th century. Exterior finishes use coniferous timber boards tinted in a grey-green tone, blending the structures into the island’s austere natural palette. The facades are articulated with wooden trim boards dividing them into segments — a characteristic detail of Sortavala’s historic mansions and surroundings. A subtle decorative effect is achieved through alternating vertical and horizontal board patterns. Hip roofs soften the complex’s silhouette, with dormer windows integrated into them — another motif common in northern architecture. Contemporary elements include large floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows and minimalist terrace railings.

The buildings are constructed using frame technology. They share unified structural elements, which gives the complex architectural cohesion and optimizes the construction process, including the use of prefabricated components. Eco-friendly materials are used, and local wastewater treatment facilities are planned. The design meets local urban planning regulations and complies with relevant codes and standards.

The concept of this countryside hotel aligns with the tourism development strategy for Karelia and has the potential to significantly advance the region’s hospitality industry by filling the niche for premium accommodation.
