Research notes

The elevated site offers broad views, but the plan also makes room for shelter from wind.

Kastelaz Hof replaces an earlier building above vineyards in the Termeno area of South Tyrol, Italy. Peter Pichler Architecture joins living and bedroom wings into a horseshoe-like arrangement.

The internal courtyard creates a protected outdoor center while glazing opens the rooms to the wider landscape. This pairing is the useful comparison to follow in the photographs: a panoramic house also needs places that turn inward.
