Architect Stefan Rier designed this Alpine style home, in the Italian Alps, for his family and gave it a very unsuspected surreal interior.
Hanging boxes, at different heights, house the three bedrooms, each designed as a micro-home, supported by a wooden beam structure over the main living space.
On the ground floor there is a common area which spreads out almost in a ‘piazza’ fashion.
Called the Messner House, Stefan was inspired by his childhood memories of playing in the family barn.
The interior is innovative and the kitchen was designed to accommodate more than one cook. The drapes throughout the house are for a theater effect.
The rest of the Messner house develops in a vertical way instead of the classic room divisions. The ground floor is a large open space with three diverse ‘island’ functions: the relaxation area, the dining area, and the kitchen.
Some elements of the home are Mediterranean, like these lacy stairs.
A staircase and a walkway system, which as well as having a connecting function, accommodate the ‘bathroom’ areas with tubs and showers (only the toilets are closed in).
Each bedroom has it’s own style. The master is so elegant.
The 2nd fl. gets natural light from large skylights.
This bath area has a view. From below it hangs over the floor like a torpedo.
The rooftop deck.
