House S

Bergmeisterwolf designed five vacation apartments in Brixen, Italy, connected by a stone base and twisting around a shared courtyard, also revealing wide-open views of the landscape.

Five vacation apartments, connected by the base, are twisted around a shared courtyard. House S aims to connect with the site, the landscape, and the village. Following the houses of the neighborhood, the traditional materials of stone and wood are used: natural stone for the base and quartered logs for the facade.

Placed on an incline, the house follows local topography, only breaking at edges in the terrain. The house outgrows and yet grows into the landscape at the same time – a twist. The house’s position along a street results in a sort of yard in the back part with a vista towards a clearing – a natural recreation area.

The upper part of the building, made of wood, lies on a stone base. Its height and movement complies with the surrounding rooftops. However, it allows for free vistas between the rooftops of the neighboring houses, revealing wide-open views of the landscape. The result is a sort of dynamic movement that includes the neighboring houses without them being the main focus.
