The alpine cabins ‘Wohnhaus Pliscia 13’ in South Tyrol designed by local studio Pedevilla Architekten combine locally sourced and contemporary elements with a focus on sustainability. It is located in San Vigilio di Marebbe, Italy. The building ensemble is located in a hamlet of Enneberg at a height of 1,200 meters (3,940 feet) and it refers to the building tradition of the “viles”. The exterior walls are clad with black-stained Alpine larch, creating a contrast between the dark exteriors and bright interiors. The two staggered buildings with their cautious insertion into the hillside correspond to the local couple court type. Regional ornaments and characteristic features like saddle roof, loggia and wood façade are taken up and realized in a new, pure and independent way. The La Pedevilla residences provide both a permanent home for the architect and his family and a holiday retreat that can be rented out to tourists.
