Functionality

Functionality of an accommodation includes such aspects as an easy access to the building, affordable construction and running costs, safe operation. For safe operation a number of measures can be applied:special design of the roof in order to minimize danger from dislodged snow, storages or protective lobbies adjacent to the entrance for sports equipment, etc. Also, in certain conditions the so-called bio-climatic architecture proves very functional: orientation of the long axis of a building to the north, or just placing most of the guest rooms on a sunny side or on the side sheltered from the wind cut energy costs. The presence of the sunlight in the building during cold winterandhot summer andaview over a scenic area also naturally raise the mood and will be appreciated by your guests.
