House Carezza was built with the idea of emphasising the environment in which it is located as much as possible. In fact, we find in the near of Lake Carezza, where the north and south sides of the building overlook the peaks of the Catinaccio and Latemar group respectively. The geometry of the structure is developed mainly on the basis of this rough and fragmented materiality of the rocks, which characterises the landscape surroundings, and gives these modern lines and defines these contemporary shapes to the two dwellings.
Not far from Lake Carezza, in the Eggental valley, surrounded by lush larch forests and rugged peaks, lies House Carezza. The landscape here is a true paradise: The colours of the lake and the light of dusk are reflected on the surrounding peaks, offering breathtaking sunsets.
The homes are built in an area of high building density: in order to preserve the privacy of the residents, the north side of the building facing the Rosengarten is enclosed by large terraces and characterised by a vertical rhythm of wooden slats. The south side, on the other hand, opens up the view of the panorama of the Latemar Group with its glass façade.
The building is certified with KlimaHouse A Nature. Among other things, materials from the surrounding area were chosen for the construction: the load-bearing structure is made of spruce wood, the cladding and interior fittings are made of weather-resistant larch wood, and stone from the area was used for the exterior. The choice of these materials not only contributed from the point of view of sustainability, but also defined the concept according to which the project was developed.
The two new wooden houses translate the alpine architectural tradition of farmhouses into the present by combining materials such as wood and stone with modern technologies and reinterpreting the material separation between the upper and lower parts that is characteristic of this type of building.
Inside, the three floors are staggered so that the view of the panorama is guaranteed at all times. On the ground floor, each flat consists of an entrance area, the kitchen, the living room and a wardrobe. On the upper floor, the large panoramic windows look directly onto the Dolomites. The room layout and furnishings convey a timeless, alpine atmosphere: as on the outside, the use of wood continues on the inside, and natural light enters through gaps in the walls.
The result is a balance between intimacy and cosiness, typical of Alpine charm that evokes familiarity and allows guests to experience traditions in a vast landscape.
The architecture office monovolume has been working in the sector of architecture and design since 2003 piloting projects, that go from urban design to interior design and furnishing.
The architects met at the faculty of architecture at the University of Innsbruck, where they have already collaborated and worked together on projects. The participation at several national contests has given them the opportunity to carry out a number of successful projects which laid the foundation stone of the actual teamwork and the beginning of the mutual professional activity.
