Apartment building with four units in the Tyrolean Alps, harmonizing the surrounding nature, traditional local architecture, and innovative living concepts.
Three prominent gabled roofs make a bold architectural statement. Natural wood envelops the exterior, gradually acquiring a distinguished silver-grey patina that blends seamlessly with the surroundings. The structure rests on a simple concrete base, offering a modern interpretation of the traditional Tyrolean barn. Expansive panoramic windows and locally sourced natural materials such as solid wood, lime plaster, and alpine stone blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors, bringing the beauty of the surroundings into the living spaces.
