Peter Pichler Architetcure, a Milan-based architecture firm, always designs non-formalist, authentic and epic projects that respect contextualism in a real sense but also the studio brings a new way of looking to the space, which we are not familiar with. It is a special approach that the studio has no style in global scale, so Pichler's architecture certainly goes beyond formalism responding to the parameters of a context. Pichler's architecture is very pure, elegant, avant-garde, materialistic but always trying to find something new in both space and function. Latest proposal of Peter Pichler Architecture is a 5-Star Hotel in Italy's dazzling Dolomites, which has won a design competition.

The project is situated in Europe's largest alpine meadow, a paradise for winter sports, hiking, and exploring nature. Peter Pichler Architecture has been selected to transform the old hotel into a 5-star resort. The project consists of restructuring rooms and adding new luxury suites on the roof level, as well as a new reception and lounge area. A special feature is the new rooftop spa with a panoramic view of the Dolomites.

The facade of this new building is a very transparent, light, and open structure that offers brightness and an impressive vista of the landscape from the rooms.The tilted roof assimilates to the local context of the village where the hotel is situated.

Peter Pichler Architecture is very well-known with its Mirror Houses in Bolzano, Italy, which uses the material gualities in a deep sense. The aim of the project is to design an unusual luxury unit in nature displaying a contempoarary look.
