Botel (boat hotel) of the Lakes, a green holiday in the blue Land of seven lakes.

The development of the project is splitted in two phases:

Phase 1:

Prototype creation

Launch in Porto Ceresio and start up go live

Botel used as temporary office and show-room

Commercialization and internationalization

Phase 2:

Botel deployed in other places, introduce other 5 units

PROTOTYPE PROJECT

Installation of a floating pier with its anchor (though two metallic poles) of a “vessel” with off-grid prototype function for the future creation of a complete floating hotel.

Zero energy modular block composed by:

Floating platform with metallic structure and floating PVC

Essential building with iron-glass-wood structure

Flat cover

Transparent movable cover for evapotranspiration protection

CLOSED CIRCUIT AND ZERO IMPACT OUTSIDE NETWORK PLANTS

Electric

Independent off-grid power supply with storage batteries and with remote management and cloud datalogger

24 volt low voltage internal / external LED lighting

220 service inverter for sockets

Photovoltaic panels in coverage

Innovative horizontal wind turbine and hybrid vertical wind turbine

Mechanic

Heating/cooling with heat pump powered by PV panels

ACS produced by PV panels integrated by heat pump

Waste water – management with ultrafiltration and evapotranspiration

Gray water recycling with potabilization through UV treatment for sanitary use

Water supply to dispensers with bottles

Special installations

Perimeter intrusion with telephone dialer and luminous indicator

Control with webcam with recording and sending images in the event of an intrusion attempt

Eolo connection – Eolo telephony

Building Automation (home automation) for complete plant management

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

A sustainable holiday with zero impact, on floating off-grid units: Botel 2.0 is a philosophy of life, it is “the approach to territories on tiptoe”

EXPERIENTIAL TOURISM

Botel 2.0 will allow you to enjoy, on the floating pier, the “Food and Wine” Tourism with a network of popular restaurants

CLEAN ENERGY

The Botel units are conditioned, heated and equipped with every comfort and are powered by photovoltaic, micro-wind and equipped with a closed-cycle water purification system – they do not produce any emissions into the environment.

SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY

You will reach by boat the most fascinating places of the lake, or you can visit the City of Lugano and the beautiful village of Morcote, or, with the reactivation of the old railway line, get to Varese. You can follow The paths that will lead you to Mount St. George (UNESCO heritage).

RESPECT OF THE TERRITORY

At the base of the project there is the idea of reversibility: the anthropization intervention proposed in water can be removed, bringing the territory back to its actual state.

INTERCONNECTIONS

Botel’s eco-friendly proposal also embraces the transport environment, with the reactivation of the railway line it will be possible to reach Botel from everywhere without any gas emissions into the atmosphere.

INFO-POINT

Through the use of App’s it will be possible to receive information about the proposals and offers of the territory with a special approach to the zero kilometer ones.

ENHANCEMENT

The choice of the village of Porto Ceresio, defined by skyscanner.it “one of the 20 nicest in Italy”, is that of succeeding in enhancing the place and making it appreciated for its the natural beauties
