Located 500 metres from the city center and the main landmarks of Targu Mures, Romania, Hotel Privo is a new modern hotel building designed by DE3 . It has a minimalist design, with extensive, calming surfaces of natural and high-tech materials: stone, exposed concrete, glass, stencils, corian, various ribbed surfaces. The most interesting feature of the new volume is the relation between the two interior courtyards, located at different levels. The client’s request to increase the built surface to accomodate the necessary functions for a four 4 star hotel(conference rooms, spa, several restaurant categories), prompted the creation of the courtyard, bound by the new volume on two sides, and villa Csonka on the third.
