Italian studio\u00a0Peter Pichler Architecture<\/a> has unveiled its design for a museum<\/a> and storage facility in South Tyrol<\/a>, Italy, which will rise from the alpine landscape with an angular green roof<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Set to contain exhibition spaces, workshops, laboratories and offices, the museum depot will be designed to help preserve and celebrate cultural and archaeological artefacts from the local South Tyrol region.<\/p>\n

An angular green roof will rise from the ground and over a street-facing entrance, where a tall glazed facade will illuminate a foyer.<\/p>\n

Peter Pichler Architecture<\/a> designed the sloped roof as an extension of the building’s mountainous setting, intending to blend it into the dramatic landscape.<\/p>\n

\"DesignA spiral staircase will connect the floor levels in the museum<\/p>\n

“The green roof becomes an extension of the landscape, fostering continuity and a seamless dialogue between architecture and its natural setting,” said Peter Pichler Architecture.<\/p>\n

“By partially embedding the building into the ground, the project reduces its perceived scale and respects the surrounding context and typology.”<\/p>\n

A spiral staircase in the light-filled foyer will lead to storage and exhibition spaces in the subterranean levels, which will provide the stable temperature and humidity levels needed to help preserve artefacts.<\/p>\n

The museum depot offices will have glazed facades that overlook and open onto a central triangular courtyard.<\/p>\n

Peter Pichler Architecture hopes its design for the museum depot, which recently received approval from the local council as a public-private partnership, will become a dedicated home for archaeological research in South Tyrol and bring the region’s cultural objects together under one roof.<\/p>\n

“The new design was confronted with a dual obligation: to perform as an optimised preservation facility while simultaneously responding to the cultural demands of the region,” said the studio.<\/p>\n

“Unlike the historical distribution of depots of varying scales and programs scattered across South Tyrol, the new museum depot consolidates these functions into a unified facility, creating an integrated regional space for archaeological research.”<\/p>\n

\"DesignExhibition space will be located underground<\/p>\n

Peter Pichler founded his eponymous studio in Milan in 2015.<\/p>\n

Other projects by the studio that have been featured on Dezeen include a geometric office block in Bologna<\/a> with pleated facades and an angular concrete villa in a vineyard in South Tyrol<\/a>.<\/p>\n
