Innovative sun shading for modern hotel project in Locarno

Aadorf TG, November 2024

Griesser has fitted the Dorint Resort & Spa in Locarno/Riazzino with awnings. The architectural firm responsible, TIGESTIM, selected the Solozip and Soloscreen products from Griesser for their elegance, reliability and low maintenance.

The Dorint Resort & Spa in Locarno/Riazzino opened in late summer this year after a three-year construction period, Griesser announced in a press release. The internationally active developer of sun protection for buildings from Aadorf contributed the façade awnings to the four-star hotel. Specifically, the Griesser products Solozip II and Soloscreen IV were installed.

“In addition to reliability and low maintenance, I decided in favour of the Solozip façade awnings because of their elegance,” Simone Garofoli from TIGESTIM, the architectural firm responsible for the project, is quoted as saying in the press release. “This product also fits perfectly with the architectural linearity of the façade.” When choosing the Soloscreen, the vertical awning from Griesser impressed with its colour scheme and discreet structure: “The option of black wire ropes makes the support structure almost invisible, bringing the fabric’s weave to the fore,” explains Garofoli.
