The apartment is located on the first floor of a residential building in Via Palmer, in the Oltretorrente hamlet, in the municipality of Castelrotto.

The building, which overlooks the valley crossed by the Rio Gardena, enjoys a complete view of the town of Ortisei and the nearby peak of Resciesa. Behind the house, however, rises the complex of the Alpe di Siusi whose ski lifts are easily reachable on foot from here.

The apartment originally featured a large living area, with separate kitchen and living room, a single bedroom, a large bathroom and an old, disused brick stove.

The main desire of the Clients was to review the original layout of the rooms in order to increase the receptivity of the flat without compromising its hospitality.

With that in mind, the renovation project was developed with a series of strategic demolitions and reconstructions that, with the thoughtful transfer of surfaces, led, on the one hand, to the merging of the kitchen with the living room in a new open space and, on the other, to the creation of a second bedroom.

The materials chosen for the flooring of the rooms tell the story of the project's territory and the nature of the spaces they cover.

Thus, the Gardena porphyry accompanies the entrance hall and the internal bathroom while the larch floor warms the main rooms of the house.

The new custom-made furnishings in fir wood complete the organization and image of the spaces and find their point of maximum expression in the equipped bench that embraces the dining area and continues in the kitchen cabinet whose porphyry top gradually transforms into a seat to complete the TV area.
