When we talk about the perfect harmony between architecture, nature and art, we can’t go past Hotel Bohinj. This year, as a partner of the OKO Photo Festival, it is opening its doors to artists and visitors looking for inspiration in the embrace of the Julian Alps. Its contemporary Alpine sustainable architecture, designed in collaboration with Office Architects, combines respect for local heritage with thoughtful sustainable design. This is why he has been nominated for the prestigious Constructive Alps Award, which highlights architectural achievements committed to sustainable development in the Alps.
A place where art and nature intertwine
Hotel Bohinj is not just a modern hotel, it offers a true sensory experience. Set gently above the slopes of Lake Bohinj, it offers stunning views of Triglav, Vogel, Komna and Vogar, while maintaining an authentic link with the natural surroundings. Its renovation, completed in 2021, was based on the use of natural materials, local craftsmanship and eco-friendly solutions. It is here that all festival-goers, as well as artists, will be able to find the perfect harmony between the elements, offering a space for passivity and relaxation.
OKO Festival for Sustainability
This year’s OKO Photo Festival is not only a celebration of visual art, but also an opportunity to reflect on the space in which we create. With its sustainable philosophy, Hotel Bohinj is the perfect partner for the festival – from energy efficiency and recycled materials to supporting local artisans. Every detail has been thought through, from the recycled felt slippers to the water and energy saving system.
His story is intertwined with the idea of the festival: to search for beauty beyond the surface aesthetics and to create in dialogue with the environment. Through exhibitions and photographic works, you will be able to admire architecture that is not only functional, but also respectfully coexists with nature.
You are invited to experience the OKO Festival in the embrace of the sustainable architecture of Hotel Bohinj – a place where art and nature breathe in the same rhythm.
