About the project
A project of complex conception and realization, on an impervious, high-altitude alpine terrain.
The most difficult challenges were:

  • certainly the formal one, that of making tradition and contemporaneity coexist in one building;
  • the technical one, locally sourced natural materials with an advanced technical realization, which required an infinity of details and specifically designed solutions,
  • and finally the architectural one, of being able to coexist a fluid and articulated spatiality with the rigid volumetry imposed by traditional alpine buildings.

To crown the architectural design, an extremely happy coexistence of architecture with artifacts by outstanding contemporary artists, specially made for this work at the wish of the clients, and the great care of the green surfaces, with their life cycle
literally grafted into the architectural artifact at different heights.
