Article source: Bergmeisterwolf architekten The project is situated in a little village, above Sterzing, on a height of 1.400m above sea-level. Out of a farmhouse with an old oven (made of stone) which were both fit for demolition, a new holiday residence of the Brunner family should arise. Together with the historical chapel an ensemble on the mountain should come into existence. It was important for us to integrate a place to live, a sauna, a garage and a henhouse into the landscape. All new buildings were inserted into the landscape without changing the topography. Design tools were the found, the discovered – the landscape as well as the remains of the old farmhouse like the stone wall and the traditional materials as for example the shingles from the chapel.

The structure was covered with shingles following the roof also on the soffit, they were exposed to wind and weather a half year before in order to achieve a relatively uniform weathering , a silvery tone. The entrance of the building is achieved by crossing a little metal bridge which opens the view to the space covered with greenery between the stone wall and the cladding of the building. A staircase made of glass which lies between stone wall and the shingle cladding leads downstairs. Simple materials, like the concrete ceiling which was roughly structured with laths, glass elements, as well as steel and wood characterize the interior.

The simple element was supplied with earth-coloured plaster. The roof is intensively covered with greenery. The jutting out and pending terrace is roofed but at the same time also open and offers a wonderful view over the valley. On the other hand there is the garage, an almost black cube in the landscape, covered with greenery, simple with small cut-outs and larch-wood laths.
