In a South Tyrolean setting characterised by mountains, chestnut forests, grape harvesting and livestock farming, Habitat L is a minimal, contemporary farmer house representing the rural architectural traditions of the region while redefining modern living. With its striking double L-shaped form, the shape not only defines its architectural identity but also frames the surrounding landscape in the most breathtaking way. This is an architecture built for a family looking to escape the chaos of urban life, and has been articulated in such a way that it perfectly captures balance, tranquility and the quiet luxury of thoughtful design. With a raw, honest, and unpretentious material palette, chestnut wood is the main protagonist of the architectural design and has been used for both the facade and the construction of custom furniture. Habitat L is thus a true reflection of its natural setting.
