italian practice comfort-architecten has completed ‘wohnhaus pircher, planit C’, a single family residence positioned amidst a scenic landscape near the italian-austrian border in toblach, italy. south-facing terraces and promenades line the roof to offer panoramic vistas of the mountains blanketed with trees. staggered volumes arranged around a central courtyard allow natural daylight to permeate into the sub-grade wellness and fitness spaces. the entry floor contains a work room and a living area and the kitchen and dining room are elevated, accessed by a stair which wraps around the glass encased open-air atrium.

successive half-levels contain bedrooms as well as an apartment, which may be accessed independently with an external stairway while the master bedroom, bathroom and dressing room are positioned at the highest floor. the structure is constructed with hybrid concrete and wood framing techniques comprised of fully insulated XLAM wood components for the exterior, interior and ceilings. controlled ventilation and a roof-top photovoltaic system maintains a steady internal climate with energy efficiency.
