Chalet Cristallo is located within a steep alpine landscape in the Eastern Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site characterized by strong topographical gradients and exposed dolomitic rock formations. The project is conceived as a site-responsive volume that follows the natural slope, minimizing visual impact while maximizing orientation and views.
The building is organized on two primary levels. The lower level is partially embedded into the terrain, functioning as a plinth anchored to the mountain. This level accommodates the private program, including bedrooms, service areas, and a wellness zone with an indoor pool carved into the slope and oriented toward the valley. Openings are carefully calibrated to control light and privacy while maintaining visual continuity with the landscape.
The upper level, defined by a pronounced cantilever, contains the main living spaces in a single, open-plan layout. Extensive glazing establishes a direct relationship with the surrounding topography and frames the changing alpine light. A continuous wood envelope, applied to structure, interior surfaces, and roof reinterprets the traditional alpine chalet through a contemporary architectural language, integrating material continuity, environmental performance, and spatial clarity.
