WOHNHAUS PLISCIA 13 BY PEDEVILLA ARCHITECTS

A beautiful chalet facing the Dolomites

It’s in the Dolomites, in the small hamlet of Mareo, that the two brothers of Pedevilla Architects reached their full potential with Wohnhaus Pliscia 13. Adding to our growing collection of black houses, this chalet’s dark sheen is just one element that distinguishes it from the other homes in the area.

Keeping in mind the peaceful influence of the mountains, Pedevilla Architect managed to combine both modern and traditional elements that are found in a chalet. The general shape of the house is marked by a gentle curve and big square windows. The house is carefully integrated into a slope facing the valley. The use of dark stone pine and larch wood gives the impression of continuity with the natural surroundings and creates a wonderful feeling of harmony.

Inside, the contrast is striking. We find the same elements as outside, such as wood, gentle curves and the traditional roof, but everything is lighter and warmer. The house actually looks bigger from the inside. We can see the strong concrete foundations of the house, bringing a modern touch to the interior and a sensation of strength. A warm, welcoming nest that offers a stunning view on the cold and merciless mountain.
