Bergmeisterwolf Architekten studio has created this large house, Villa P, whose form is camouflaged among the vineyards and terraces present in this land.

What do you tell us about Villa P?
The new building grows from the land itself and is part of the landscape cultivated between the vineyards and the typical dry-built terraces. The house emerges silently among the vines and constitutes the extension of an existing stone wall. The building is established between two parallel walls that accompany the different environments also through the use of different materials. On one side a typical stone wall in the agriculture of the Isarco valley, on the other side a concrete wall in a deep colour like that of grapes. New relationships are established between the two parts, such as open spaces, closed spaces, shady spaces, and spaces illuminated by direct light.

For eight months a year the vineyards are tinged with green and the house disappears among the leaves where just a glimpse of a terracing appears, camouflaged among the pre-existing ones.
