In the heart of the dolomite alps, in a landscape which still is defined by agriculture, the small hamlet of Pliscia is situated. Most old farms there appear to be of pair-style type, consisting of a tenement and a stable at least. In this respect the two new buildings make no exception. Pedevilla Architects succeed in contrasting an old farm house archetype with a modern residence, while the chalet can be seen as modern interpretation of the former stable. The outer timber shell of the two buildings is kept consistently in black, a reference on the sun burned facades of the old farm houses.

"The combination between today and the world of yesterday, the refernece to the place and it's history. That's what makes the difference."

The project was made for an private client, whereas Pedevilla Architects are commissioned to promote the design and architecture.
