Peter Pichler Architecture designed four connected volumes that are inspired by the context and scale of the surrounding buildings. The composition is inspired by the vernacular architecture of the region and the classic wooden barn reinventing a contemporary shape of this typology, with exterior blackened wood.
The curved shape of the exoskeleton façade is inspired by the pitchfork used by local farmers.
Wood is the main protagonist of the project. Inside, the ash lightwood is combined with typical green loden textiles, adding a dash of color giving continuity to the natural palette of the surrounding landscape.

Project description by Peter Pichler Architecture
The new hotel structure is fragmented into four shifted volumes to break down the scale of the entire structure while at the same time respecting the scale of the surrounding buildings. The composition is inspired by the vernacular architecture of the region and the classic wooden barn reinventing a contemporary reinterpretation of this typology.
The curved shape of the exoskeleton façade is inspired by the pitchfork used by local farmers. Maranza is a small village in South Tyrol with a significate agricultural background.
The interiors are simple and functional, a timeless Alpine style. Ash wood is combined with typical green loden textiles, adding a dash of color giving continuity to the natural palette of the surrounding landscape. Wood is the main protagonist of the project, both outside and inside, creating contrast with the exterior blackened wood and the interior lightwood.
