A sweet getaway at the mountains

Ski Resort in Piancavallo
An adventurous getaway. A place where people come for an amazing experience. Located at the top of the hills along the ski path with an extraordinary view of Piancavallo up to the Adriatic Sea itself. It has everything you need in just one place, isolated from the town. As we visited the place we noticed a main problem that we wanted to focus on in our design. In between the existing buildings there were piles of snow causing serious problems to the area and the building itself. It was not letting people walk through, the snow was blocking doors for the workers and it was making it dangerous for the clients to walk down the stairs towards the restrooms. In order to solve this problem we came up with the idea of creating a common roof between the buildings. Designing the roof according to the direction where it would be suitable for the snow to fall. Our proposal is made up of a variety of small cabins lifted from the grounds with stilts along the edge of the hill, respecting its nature. Each group of cabins share a common roof where its close and lean towards the North side for protection from the high winds of the Bora. This common roof creates a common space between each cabin. Unlike the cabins, the Restaurant is made of rooms that serve for different functions creating a common space between them. The Restaurant is designed according to open and close spaces where it has a terrace, restaurant, and a spa center for the people in the cabins. While the cabins are designed according to a Spectrum of Privacy, as the cabins get further and further away from the Restaurant the more private it gets. This way the client can choose how they would like to spend their days here. Both the cabins and restaurant are made of light gauge steel walls. This provides good insulation properties with a small wall thickness and fast construction due to the time constraint.
Existing Buildings
Location
Mountains to the North east
Ski-lift Machine, Control Room and Baita Arneri Restaurant
Place Analysis South facing slope lets us avoid most of the Bora wind coming from the North and gains most of the sun. With an amazing panoramic view to the South and East direction showing Aviano up to the Adriatic Sea. Consist of a walkable path into the slope, a potential area for cozy cabins in the mountain.
Hills to the South and West
Location for new cabins which has enough distance from noise pollution coming from the restaurant and ski machines but at the same time close as possible

Our main problem was the snow. We placed the rock in the snow which it absorbed it
Wrapping the new shape with a common roof for protection, including the existing building
Tilt the roof to avoid the snow and to “push” it down the slope

Technology Insulation as an Inner Envelope Since the rooms are going to be in use for short periods throughout the year, the structure does not need to get warm, in order to catch this situation the insulation layers will be placed as an unbroken inner envelope which will provide to the building a less energy consumption. Why Light Gauge Wall System?

Piancavallo is mostly covered by snow throughout the year. Therefore the time of construction in Piancavallo is limited, which will take place during the summer time. Building in steel will be the fastest way to construct which most of the pieces will be prefabricated and have them ready once they are transported into the site. Fast construction opportunity with a very good insulation property, without massive structure could be considered as a good design idea.
