At the foot of the Sciliar mountain in Bolzano, South Tyrol stands proudly a beautiful motel-like retreat. It sits on a site previously occupied past an old barn that dated back to 1850. The new and improved structure was designed and congenital by studio noa* (network of compages). This is one of the most beautiful and picturesque regions in Italy and the cabin takes full advantage of the amazing views. As far as the overall design and architecture are concerned, this is a rather eclectic structure.

On the outside, the Messner Firm 9as the project was called) features a strong traditional vibe with local influences. Information technology'south obvious however that the structure has a modern grapheme and this is especially visible on the within.

This duality gives it a lot of character.
