This time, my barber dared to push beyond the boundaries of tradition, betting everything on a revolutionary idea: a hair atelier designed to welcome both men and women in a shared space where professionalism and ambiance merge in perfect harmony. The beating heart of this project comes to life on the second floor of a historic building in the center of Bergamo, where the charm of bygone eras intertwines with a bold and refined contemporary vision. Andrea Ceriani The environment unfolds as a dialogue between contrasts: the warmth of natural wood surfaces and soft fabrics meets the geometric purity of brushed metal and the sophisticated transparency of glass, creating a setting that celebrates the coexistence of tradition and innovatio...

The existing property is only 50m2 in footprint but we were able to develop a mezzanine using the highest part of the ceiling height that allows us to accommodate 2 bedrooms with two bathrooms.  Shalise Barnes Shalise Barnes Shalise Barnes We opened new openings throughout the historic property to allow more light into the space, using the roofline as inspiration throughout the project.

Not far from Lake Carezza, in the Eggental valley, surrounded by lush larch forests and rugged peaks, lies House Carezza. The landscape here is a true paradise: The colours of the lake and the light of dusk are reflected on the surrounding peaks, offering breathtaking sunsets. The two new wooden houses translate the alpine architectural tradition of farmhouses into the present by combining materials such as wood and stone with modern technologies and reinterpreting the material separation between the upper and lower parts that is characteristic of this type of building.

The Almhotel Oberhauser with 10 high-quality rooms was developed from the existing Oberhauserhütte on the beautiful Rodenecker/Lüsner Alm. The existing building served as the basis for the new building; the continuation of the typical local building typologies, yet with a contemporary design, and the deliberate division of the building mass into smaller volumes, create a pleasant composition of volumes. Gustav Willeit Gustav Willeit Gustav Willeit These are integrated into the landscape, taking into account the existing topology of the terrain - the house grows with the landscape or grows out of it. The gabled roof, a typical element of rural construction, is used as a landmark in the landscape and makes the ensemb... More
