”We wanted to create something entirely our own, a house with character, simple and modern, where tradition and contemporary design come together through materials and form, with a sense of edge but also a great deal of heart.”
Franziska, on the hotel she and Roland created in Maranza, above the Puster Valley. She grew up on an organic farm. He grew up on the Untermüllerhof. What they were after was a place that could only exist here.
Peter Pichler Architecture won the competition in 2019 and finished it the year after. Four volumes shifted against one another so the building keeps the scale of the barns around it, and a facade curve drawn from the pitchfork the farmers on this hillside use. From the air it reads as a grid of arches, with a chair in every one. Arvid lounge chairs on the terrace. Teak on welded stainless steel, powder-coated black. Freja bar stools at the bar and in the w**e vault. Einar armchairs in the rooms. All designed by Alexandra Pettersson and crafted in our own factory in Malmö.
