Gasthaus Dreiviertelweg

After decades of inactivity, the Dreiviertelweg inn, located at 1325 m above sea level on the pilgrimage route to Maria Weißenstein/Pietralba, has been carefully revitalized.

Almhotel Oberhauser

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

Beton Eisack HQ

During an expansion from 2002, the headquarters of the Beton-Eisack company in Klausen had been supplemented by a striking office building by architect Armin Blasbichler, which ever since prominently forms the entrance to the company grounds in a levitating manner. The aim of the current project was – 20 years later – to create functionally efficient and pleasant spaces that would meet the company's changed needs while providing an appropriate stage for the concrete that is being developed and produced by the company. Fundamentally new is a space for seminars and other events.

Brixen Public Library unites historical buildings with new social spaces

Treviso-based architecture studio Carlana Mezzalira Pentimalli has completed the Brixen Public Library, tying together a collection of historic buildings in Brixen in the alpine Italian region of South Tyrol with a series of light filled social spaces. Marco Cappelletti The library, which was founded in 1984 to cater to the communities in the surrounding Isarco Valley, now houses over 36,000 books and needed a new site. The scheme ties together a disparate group of historic civic buildings – a courthouse, a prison and a treasury – with a bold new volume located near the town's main square, adjacent to its cathedral and Bishop's palace.

Viktoria by Architekt Andreas Gruber speaks to the simple vernacular of South Tyrol

Named for the client herself, Viktoria is a residential building located in Vals, South Tyrol. The house has a south-facing prospect over the Vals valley with its striking mountain slopes and peaks.

Gustav Willeit The compact three-floor building with an isosceles gable roof is entered from the main entrance n the ground floor. The levels above are accessed via a straight internal staircase centralized in the building. Floor areas in include a spacious living room... More

Treehouse concept drives the design for South Tyrol hotel extension

In Siusi, South Tyrol, Parc Hotel Florian has been expanded with ten new suites in a new stand-alone building. Designed by Noa* architects, the design brief was to connect the new build to the existing structure and preserve as the unique surrounding landscape, which includes ancient trees, an idyllic pond and outdoor pool. Alex Filz To leave as much of the existing land as possible untouched, the new building is elevated on a series of three-meter high supports, leaving the grounds below fully accessible. The intellectual concept of the building as treehouse thus began to take shape. Alex Filz At the end of a connecting walkway that forms the backbone of the new development, a two-storey structure contains the new suites, with... More

HOUSE V

The client's request was to restructure their part of a duplex. With the energy, upgrading was possible to use the volume bonus and thus make a living attic.On the ground floor is the parents' apartment on the first and second floor was built the new apartment for the son.The enlargement has been made in wooden structure and insulated with wooden fiber.Thanks to the ground floor widening now the plant is almost a perfect square.

Tramin Winery

The facade of the new winery in Tramin is imaginatively woven into the surrounding vineyards. The visual core of the spectacular building are the vine – like aluminium cylinders, which "grow around" an angled glass facade. We are pleased that our ideas in the choice of materials and, above all, the exact and complicated production of 500 different individual bodies made of aluminium were an important contribution to this outstanding architecture.

Messner Mountain Museum Firmian

No stone is like another. That is why all 137 steel windows in the "Messner Mountain Museum" at Sigmundskron Castle have different dimensions. Countless detailed solutions were required: whether for the installation of entire storeys, the measurement of small metal rods or the stabilisation of a floating cinema auditorium – we found them all. Now an outstanding architecture of glass and steel is nestling against the age-old building fabric. A lasting connection, because there is no metal element like the other. The museum's architect, Werner Tscholl, was awarded the prestigious "Architetto Italiano 2016" prize in the course of this construction. More
