By Situated at the base of Mount Reit, in a classic alpine building dating back to the late 1970s, this 75 sqm apartment offers stunning views of Valdidentro. Designed with a young family in mind, the home by studio wok is intended to be a welcoming space for both residents and visitors alike.
Redefining Space with Distinct Volumes
The apartment underwent a significant transformation with the removal of all internal partitions, allowing for the creation of three distinct volumes. Crafted from wood and drywall, these volumes house fixed cupboards and bathrooms, organizing the space in a fluid yet cohesive manner. The strategic positioning of these volumes maximizes natural light, turning it into a key architectural element that shapes the ambiance of the interior.
Fluid Living Areas and Convivial Spaces
Upon entry, an intimate foyer sets the tone, leading into an open and light-filled living area. Four windows facing south-east and south-west flood the space with daylight, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen seamlessly integrates into one of the wooden volumes, while a buffet unit and long bench facilitate convivial gatherings.
Alpine-inspired Bedrooms and Materials
The two bedrooms and one of the bathrooms face north-east, with the master bedroom featuring a simple design and a private bathroom. The second bedroom boasts a cozy wood-paneled alcove reminiscent of an alpine hut, complete with a bunk bed and pull-out bed. Locally sourced materials, including larch wood flooring and green serpentine stone countertops, establish a strong connection to the surrounding area.
Craftsmanship and Collaboration
Pinewood takes center stage in the home’s custom-designed furniture, window frames, and wall and ceiling paneling. Collaborating closely with local craftsmen, the studio ensured that every piece, from tree cutting in nearby Val Zebrù to final production, adhered to the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. The delicate tones of pine and larch woods are complemented by green-painted sliding doors and kitchen units, creating a minimalist yet cozy aesthetic synonymous with mountain living.
The Home in Bormio epitomizes a harmonious blend of contemporary design, local craftsmanship, and alpine charm, offering a serene retreat in the heart of nature.
