This minimalist home is a 2006 renovation by JM Architecture that is located in the Dolomite Mountains of Italy. The changes that were made allow for more natural light and a practical, open floor plan. The idea of remodeling this house in the Dolomite mountains at the border between Italy and Austria started because of an uncomfortable living situation. On the ground floor, the kitchen, dining room, living room and the stube were not proportioned to the size of the house and they couldn’t get enough light. To allow the maximum amount of light into the rooms, the façades have been replaced by a custom designed structural silicon curtain wall, with base and head mullions flush with the floor and ceiling, and large pop-out sliding doors to create interaction between indoor and outdoor.
The house is controlled by a fully automated iBus system, and a particular attention has been given to the audio video equipment, which also includes invisible speakers plastered into walls or ceilings of different areas.
