back to the future, parkhotel holzner, Renon

July 6, 2021|Architecture, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2021 – Winner, Italy, Residential architecture|

„the aesthetics of the holzner hotel as an alpine art-nouveau building are now timeless“. It has always been our intention to build on this quote. The core of the project is in the historic building, whereas the new extension remains in the background, adding value to the existing. The old building and the new interventions nurture each other and grow together. Selected materials and clear design are the linking elements

House DMD, Apno

July 5, 2021|Architecture, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2021 – Winner, Residential architecture, Slovenia|

When the children grew up there was one other thing that was ripe. An idea of a new house, completely different from the existing one. One with a view and set into a peaceful environment, one that could bring together all of the owners’ friends and family, one that will provide shelter and make them feel free at the same time. One that is sustainable, healthy and with high energetic

Haus am Hang, St. Andrä

July 5, 2021|Architecture, Austria, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2021 – Winner, Residential architecture|

The house, designed in solid wood, is situated on the outskirts of the city with a minimal footprint in the natural space. The main design-determining factor was the narrow and at the same time long plot of land. The building structure evolves upwards in line with the steep terrain topography in different intimacy zones and connects to the surroundings in different ways (terrace, balcony) on each level. A central wall

Villa Fleisch, Dornbirn

July 5, 2021|Architecture, Austria, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2021 – Winner, Residential architecture|

In the context of the "Rüttenersch" settlement, this building was planned in 1929 by architect Wilhelm Fleisch on behalf of the city of Dornbirn as part of a series of residential buildings of the same type. The existing spatial structure, a small rented flat and a guest room on the ground floor and a family flat on the upper two floors, was retained. The upper two floors were adapted to

SPLAY Office Building, Bucharest

July 5, 2021|Architecture, BIG SEE Architecture Award 2021 – Winner, Public and commercial architecture, Romania|

Placed on a double-frontage plot within a triangular urban block, the Splay office building is inserted within a densely built environment, defined by a variety of architectural styles. The design fills the leftover space between a 20s Neo-Romanian building and a 60s rationalist one, completing the two street fronts that border the site. The façade’s architecture creates a dialogue with the immediate context through the long horizontal openings, the metal

Gasalhana – Chapel in Bistrica

July 2, 2021|Architecture|

The encounter of vernacular and Islamic architecture in the Dinaric regions of northern Montenegro is specific for the exceptional reduction of the influence of oriental architecture. Here, the Dinaric House is adapted to the function of sacral buildings, so that the spirit of folk architecture has achieved continuity. It was this fact that served as the inspiration for the design of the building, a new chapel near the existing mosque,

Cultural Center of Plav

July 2, 2021|Architecture|

Roof architecture, immanent to the Dinaric type of house integrated with elements of oriental architecture, is present in the urban fabric of Plav. That “image” was the basic inspiration for composing this object. The composition of traditional groups of houses, formed around a single core, coincides with the play of mountain peaks, which has been transformed into a modern architectural expression. The use of a ribbed copper roof aimed to
