A couple steeped in the Charlotte, NC, art scene had approached their architect Toby Witte of Wittehaus with images of the Netflix series “The World’s Most Extraordinary Homes”. With the need for soaring cantilevers, a desire to enjoy the home when climbing stairs might be at issue, and big eyes and open ears about the process of design, they were ready for their own modern home. Amanda Anderson Together they went on a tour to understand themselves and their needs, dreams, and desires as well as their site, and the potential inherent in the art of architecture itself. Over the course of eight months they talked, sketched, explored, flushed out a long laundry list of practical concerns, and inched ever so careful thr... More

Ceiling is porous surface like a facade. Sunlight come into interior space through white fabric roof and porous ceiling to make soft atmosphere. Customer can watch cars and talk about purchasing cars in calm environment by soft lighting. Space above the ceiling produce hot air which works heating for interior in winter time and is released by pressure ventilation for inslation. Passive design is... More

The Felsenhaus is a unique private residence embedded directly into a natural rock formation. The architectural concept is based on the archaic idea of living within a cave, translated into a contemporary living environment that merges nature, structure, and precision engineering. René Riller The project is defined by the direct integration of construction elements into irregular rock surfaces. Rather than imposing a traditional building form, the architecture follows the natural contours of the stone, creating a seamless transition between built space and landscape. René Riller Metall Ritten was responsible for the execution of glass façades, steel structures, and custom metal elements. The installation wor... More

The Punta Rocca station on the Marmolada, located at 3,265 metres above sea level, represents the highest panoramic terrace in the Dolomites and a technically highly demanding high-altitude construction project. The building is exposed to extreme climatic conditions, limited accessibility, and complex logistical constraints due to its alpine location. Alex Filz The architectural intervention combines a steel supporting structure with extensive glass façades and an external envelope made of trapezoidal sheet metal. An all-glass railing system defines the panoramic roof terrace, ensuring both safety and unobstructed views across the Dolomites landscape. Alex Filz A key challenge of the project was the logistics: all compone... More

Im Kult is a contemporary conversion of a former soap factory in Marling, transforming the industrial building into a vibrant space that combines gastronomy, design, art, and retail. The architectural intervention creates a restrained yet expressive environment that highlights objects, materials, and spatial atmosphere without overpowering the existing structure. René Riller A key architectural feature is the careful integration of new structural and façade elements into the historic industrial fabric. Large-scale glass components, perforated aluminium cladding, and custom metal constructions define the spatial experience. The design also includes striking 3×3 metre rotating glass windows, which preserve the origin... More

The new SIDI SPORT headquarter is an extremely high tech and dynamic building. Each one of the steel arches, whose job is to erect the whole building, are positioned 30m away one another. The arches intersect with each other at an inclination angle, which varies from a minimum of 10 degrees to a maximum of 15. This has been achieved thanks to the implementation of modern computing, 3D design software and a fierce collaboration with Architect IvanoSebellin Valentino. More
