Haus Tirol
The goal was to create a contemporary
family home in a consistent modern idiom
that also feels rooted in a sense of place.
The prevailing vernacular building style is
based on the gables and pitched roofs of
the traditional farmhouse. Another relevant
influence is the typology of the castle.
Rather than drawing on these references,
many examples of which are copies of
copies, the contextual appropriateness of
this new piece of architecture will derive
from the use of local materials and from a
form that reads as the natural outcome
of its site and the wider landscape — the
attenuated lines of the vines crisscrossing
the land, for example, echoed in simple
horizontal volumes that hug the contours
of the hill.
