Museum Gherdeina is a proposal by BSTR architects OAB Rosso 19 AEI Progetti and Rethink Energy developed in 2020. It is located in Ortisei Italy in an old town setting. Its scale is medium with a surface of 1.800 sqm. Key materials are glass and wood. Play-Time collaborated as visualizer.

The concept behind the project is the dichotomy, specifically we refer to the “dichotomous twin”. The inspiration came by observing the Gardena landscape and its historical models of native architecture, called “masi” or “mejes”. We referred to the typology of the Paarhof, composed of two close but separate buildings, named Feuerhaus, the “fire-house”, usually in masonry, in our case represented by the existing building, and Futterhaus, the “hay-house”, built in wood, is the extension.
