The remarkable feature of the “Gasteiger mountain chalet” today is its extremely modern and yet very simple form. The Innsbruck based architect Josef Lackner realized this structure in a hill above Brunico in the years 1972/73. A place surrounded by wonderful landscape improved by an extraordinary house. The house is a five-sided prism leaning on six low concrete pillars. Inside the main room, on the sides there are two big beds, while in the back, on the right and on the left of the fireplace and the kitchen, there are two smaller ones.
The focus of the project was to create a new look of the company „Provex“, a producer of shower cabs and bathroom equipment since 1975. Provex is known for its innovation and elegant design. To express the trademark of the company the facade of the existing hall has been covered by a very special case, made of more than 8.000 metal flakes, that shimmer in the wind and look like water. Trough targeted illumination at night the metal flakes seem to be a water feature.
The new beverage market is located along the busy north ring in the industrial area of Brunico. The new building is designed as a beverage wholesale shop and is located directly adjacent to the existing headquarters and warehouse of the company Harpf.
The new beverage market is designed as a wood construction for several reasons: the new beverage market was built on some existing underground storage, so the lightweight applied had to be appropriated.
The School Bouldering and Climbing Centre in Bruneck is probably the first climbing centre in the world to be designed specifically as a school sport facility. Throughout the day, school groups will come here for physical education; the centre is big enough to be used by several groups at the same time.
Spaces and objects contain within them the presence of human beings. Human bodies imprint themselves on the very walls between which they live and along which they walk. Landscape can thus be read as a topography of invisible layers left behind by humans.
The goal of the planning was to implement an area as a meeting place of indulgence and culture.
Front and rear of the store are separated by different styles.
This means that the entrance area was transformed into a traditional corner shop where the passion for detail appears; while in the rear area old architectural treasures have been combined with modern ideas, as defined in ’Rough Luxe’.
