The cultural landscape of Val Badia, located in the heart of the Dolomites is characterised by the many hamlets, known as "Viles", which have developed on its slopes over the centuries. These compact settlements are unique and bear witness to the socio-economic organisation and way of life that characterises this part of the Dolomites. The Viles are small groups of farmsteads notable for their compactness. In contrast to the individual farms, their purpose was to form a community of mutual neighbourly assistance, solidarity and the provision of basic agricultural services among the families living in the "vila".
Most of the old farms consist of two buildings, the residential building and the agricultural building, whereby the residential building has a brick base with a built-up wooden structure and the agricultural building is usually made entirely of wood. The ridge of the gabled and crippled hipped roofs is always orientated towards the valley. The buildings often have an overhanging wooden shell with an integrated, wind-protected loggia. They respect the mostly very steep terrain, are built into the slope and often do not require any retaining walls.
The hamlet of "Pliscia" in the municipality of Marebbe/Enneberg is situated at an altitude of 1,260 metres. Inserted into the existing hamlet structure, the energy self-sufficient ensemble with number 13 was designed with reference to the building tradition of the "Viles". The two offset structures form a paired farmstead - in this case, the residential building and agricultural building became the residential building and a rentable holiday lodge. The careful integration into the slope also corresponds to the local type of paired farmsteads. Regional ornaments and characteristic features such as the gabled roof, loggia and wooden façade were incorporated and reinterpreted in a clear, independent way.
However, the ensemble not only typologically refers to its surroundings, but also in terms of the materials used. The structure was cast from cement-bonded dolomite rocks. The use of wood was also an essential part of the design and went hand in hand with the concern for sustainability. The types of wood used, stone pine and larch, also originated from Val Badia - and were logged in the right lunar phase the year before construction began. The vertical board panelling of the "wooden shell" is made of larch and is a reference to the traditional examples in whose connection the ensemble stands within the hamlet. Inside the two buildings, solid stone pine, untreated and hand-planed, is used for the floors, doors, windows and furniture in the atmospheric interplay of dolomite for the walls, ceilings and some of the floors. Large-format windows open up the interior spaces with deliberate dramaturgy towards the mountainous landscape. A protective, cosy and familiar atmosphere is created, which contrasts pleasantly with the sometimes harsh climate of the surroundings.
