The project is located in a major and well connected industrial area finalized to the advanced research production, located on the east side of town. The building is a clear and compact volume, with an interesting relationship with its context.

The project of the Elisabeth and Helmut Uhl foundation has been realized thanks to a restricted international architectural competition held in 2009, which saw the participation of fifteen architectural teams from Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Germany. The jury was composed by prof. arch. Thomas Herzog, prof. Andrea Vidotto, prof. Vittorio Magnano Lampugnani and prof. arch. Hermann Kaufmann. The aim of the competition was to design a building able to host the activities of the homonymous cultural and research foundation.

L’idea progettuale nasce dalla volonta’ di creare un edificio fortemente caratterizzato e riconoscibile ma allo stesso tempo integrato ed in sintonia con il carattere della citta’ e con il contesto dell’area.

The design aimed to create a thematic interaction between the competition area and the adjacent existing urban tissue, by means of creating a park for this city that is decontextualized from the neighbouring urban space and, at the same time, directly related to the skyline of the close-by mountains.

The basic concept is of a house within a house, similar to a Russian doll. The approach generates three types of spaces, the interior, the exterior and an intermediary space. The intermediary space can be used as a garden or terrace and acts in a similar way to a greenhouse or double-glazing. It allows the occupants to lengthen the time for outdoor living in spite of the harsh climate. All windows in the internal space open on to the intermediary space, which in turn has windows to the exterior. The typical section is a self-supporting steel structure. The same section acts as a thermal conductor, absorbing the heat from the mass of the house and redistributing it to maintain comfortable temperatures in winter and transferring the heat in the summertime to the outside. The house is open toward the south to take advantage of passive solar gains, while the north buffers the cold with a closed insulated steel tile surface. The outer structure is open to definition by the owner, who is able to choose the use of colours and patterns to personalize the home. The steel sections can be added or subtracted to create additional home variations.
