Peter Pichler Architecture takes visual cues from agricultural architecture and traditional farming equipment to design the Hotel Milla Montis in South Tyrol, Italy.
Located in the small Alpine village of Maranza with views of the Dolomites, the hotel is segmented into four staggered volumes, unified by blackened larch cladding and large curved cut-outs in their facades.
It is designed by Milanese studio Peter Pichler Architecture to recall traditional wooden barns in the region and ensure it is a sensitive addition to its rural setting.
