Hydroelectric Power Station Winnebach
Villetta, Italy
Type
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2009
SIZE
0 sqft - 1000 sqft
BUDGET
$500K - 1M
The hydroelectric power station is located near
Winnebach brook in Dörfl (municipal territory of Vintl), at 800 m. above sea
level. It's partly built into the slope, since the building area was extremely
reduced. The project consists in a simple but polygonal volume, which is
formally adapted to the landscape and the local conditions. The station is
conceived as an artificial rock quarried out of the slope. This sensation is
underlined by a very reduced use of materials (concrete, glass and steel) in
their rougher form, as well as by the "veins" which cross the volume.
These "veins" consist of light bands of layered glass and run around
the building. At some specific points of those light bands a normal single
glass delivers insight to the power station's bowels.
The main building material is watertight concrete,
which was pigmented with white mortar and aftertreated with hydraulic jet in
order to acheive a raw appearance.
The building has two storeys — a ground floor and a
basement. The basement shelters the generating set, the distributing unit and
the wire room, control tank as well as a storage room. The generating set room
extends to the whole building height and is accessible by ground floor. The
ground floor itself contains the space for the utility companies and the
control room of the power station.
