Alphotel Tyrol

CLOSE TO NATURE - REGIONAL - SUSTAINABLE

The architecture makes use of natural materials. Wood and stone are the main actors of the design and form a unity with the surrounding landscape. Other natural materials such as clay, wool and glass are determinants of the overall design. The wood used comes from the valley. Built in traditional wooden construction and covered with typical local "shingles", the forest chalets live up to their name.

Efficient energy use and the resulting living comfort play a decisive role in the implementation of the new farmstead.

RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX "OLYMPIA

A SYMBIOSIS OF STRAIGHT AND SWEEPING

In the middle of Sterzing you can find the housing estate OLYMPIA. Very thoughtful and subtle, the design language of the building stands out from the surrounding residential buildings. A symbiosis of straight and sweeping lines draw a memorable design and determine the appearance

Competition and project with willeit architecture

The concept of the nature park administration foresees the creation of distinctive buildings with recognition value at individual strategically important locations in the "Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage" area. This includes the Kreuzberg Pass, which at 1,636m above sea level is the easternmost gateway to the nature park and an important starting point for numerous hiking tours and other leisure activities in the mountains.
