At the Kaiserjuwel hotel in Going, Tyrol, Austria, alpine architecture, expansive glass surfaces and high energy-performance standards come together. The new building expands the Seiwald resort ensemble with 22 suites, two penthouse suites and a sky wellness area featuring an infinity sky pool.
The South Tyrolean company Vitralux was responsible for the exterior glazing. With frameless glazing, slim profiles and barrier-free transitions, the Vitralight system creates seamless connections between the interior and the surrounding mountain landscape.
The project also features triple safety insulating glass with a Ug-value of 0.6 W/m²K enables Uw-values below 0.8 W/m²K in combination with Vitralight. The Swisspacer Ultimate warm edge spacer bar used reduces heat loss at the glazing edge and prevents condensation.
Sustainability also played a central role. The aluminum profiles used consist of at least 75% recycled aluminum. The project combines transparent architecture with comfort, energy efficiency and responsible material use.
