Peter Pichler Architecture has designed two private luxury villa units in Appiano, South Tyrol, Italy. Also known as Eppan, Appiano is a popular destination for its wine production and is especially beautiful during the grape harvest in autumn.
The imposing, cantilevering white structure grows out from the slightly sloped site as a landscape sculpture and the two units are shifted in length in order to guarantee a maximum level of privacy. The units are oriented southeast for maximum sunlight and overlook the spectacular surrounding panorama while also providing a view of the pool area within the property.
Both houses have an open space with large kitchen and living areas on the ground floor. Glass sliding doors in the living area flood the space with light and can be fully opened to the adjacent terrace. Special features of the houses are the skylights in the living room that can be flipped down to become a structural element.
The sleeping areas underneath face green courtyards offering privacy and a direct connection from the bedrooms to the garden. There is the possibility for each house also to have a gym and spa area.
