Villa Madonna is an extension of a hotel in Alpe di Siusi, Italy, completed in 2021. The form of the extension follows the lines of the surrounding landscape, and the main facade is aligned toward the summit of the Sciliar mountain range to frame the view of the peak. Stone, glass and wood are used, all sourced from supply chains with low carbon dioxide output, for durability and high energy performance. The extension holds a reception, a refreshment area and reading and conversation rooms. Daylight enters through openings that preserve the material continuity of the perimeter.
