We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer about their original and creative design work. is an award-winning creative designer, that makes our world a better place with their original works.
("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: The main principle was to fit a design in an almost urban environment. We gathered all possibilities that the small site gave us and applied it to the planning process. MAin tast was surely to create a monolithic design.
: With our design we alsways strive for a masterpiece in craftsmanship. In this case the structural element was made with brickwork. After that the main focus was on getting the volumteric appearence by applying the same regional raw metrials.
: Media & Publications. We also like to publish it on our homepage.
: Mainly the design process takes two years. After that the construction process takes another two years.
: We considered the existind environment of the site. The monolithic concept followed the materiality perception. The design was commissioned by a private client.
: The design is singular. We will not re-do it. Every client receives his own design.
: Our way of working. Our way of doing design. Developing our own style of architecture.
: We developed the design on our own as PEdevilla Architects. This time we did not corporate with other designers.
: Target customer was a private client, who wised for a small but precious residence. The setting is a remote village in a valley of South Tyrol.
: Basically the half-level-wise floor layout, the extreme reduction of the materiality and the fitting into legal parameters.
: Because of the situation of the building. The passing stream is called mill creek. So we decided to name the project regarding that.
: Pc & model.
: Tradition, Regionality, Modern Interpretation, Material Reduction.
: We mostly corporated with the craftsmen. But as on every other construction site with specialised planners.
: We do a lot of rendering, 3d visualisation and modelling before the final design. So technology is indisplaceable.
: We did a lot of regional research. The building is developed from the inside out, which means that every window is framing a special spot in the landscape. Thats surely unique. The design could be transferred into a more urban area, but the facade would be quite different.
: Biggest challence was the creating of the volumetric appearance. Therefore almost every material consists of the same raw material. Interior and Exterior plaster, exposed concrete and also the roof tile were made from chalk, concrete and aggregates of white dolomite sand.
: Because it is a unique design, which did win a lot of awards in the past year. It is welcomed by the media and a very good publicity item. It is after all an italian design.
: We improved a lot in terms of materiality and construction knowledge. As well as corporating with craftsmen.
: None at the moment.
