Private house in Austria

This is a project carried out in Austria, characterized by particular attention to the choice of materials and their integration with the natural context. MASSO CREDARO in CENERE color and ECOSTUCCO grigio terra were used to enhance the material and authentic appearance of the surface. Masso Credaro lends solidity and visual depth, while cenere color creates balanced and natural chromatic shades. Ecostucco grigio terra completes the project, ensuring uniformity, resistance and aesthetic consistency. The wooden inserts, screens ad fixtures work for a more rustic and wam feel, promoting harmonious integration with the surrounding landscape, typical of the Austrian region. The end result is a project that combines functionality and aesthetics, in which natural materials and finishes interact with each other creating a balance between architecture and landscape.
Luxury villas

In an exclusive setting, immerse in the Alpine landscape and near ski facilities, a refined residential complex of three luxury villas takes shape. A project that blends contemporary architecture, high quality materials and strong attention to landscape integration. The residential complex is an area featured by traditional architectures, natural materials and a constant dialogue between constructions and environment. The aim was to realize modern but coerent to the setting buildings, that can be integrated harmoniously with the area nearby, without sacrifing advanced technical solutions and a high level of living comfort. Pietraeco gets its contribution to this fusion between architecture and nature with its model Rupe Dolomia in Cenere color, installing more than 1000 sqm of surfaces integrating them with the landscape. Laid on thermal insulation with jointed installation, the facades reproduce with surprising realism the texture and forms of local stones. Cenere color shades match perfectly with natural colors of Alpine landscape. It was a strict cooperation between Pietraeco team and the designers, mainly in samplings and color choice phase. An ongoing dialogue enables to identify the solution most consistent with the landscape and the architectural vision of the project. Pietraeco reconstructed stone, by Rastone, confirmed itself as an effective design solution, combining aesthetics, compatibility with the mountain setting and technical performance.The versability of this model enalbes a harmonious integration with the architecture, respecting the landscape and the functional needs of the project.

Mountain houses

Mountain houses between nature and design: Pietraeco’s reconstructed stone for alpine architecture Designing mountain houses means much more than simply building at high altitudes: it’s about creating spaces that live in harmony with nature, capable of blending into the landscape and withstanding the environmental challenges of the mountains. In this context, choosing the right materials becomes essential—both aesthetically and functionally. Pietraeco, with its reconstructed stone surfaces by Rastone, is the ideal solution to enhance alpine architecture by combining contemporary design with environmental sensitivity. Living in the mountains means embracing a deep connection with natural elements, following the slow rhythms of alpine life, and preserving the identity of the landscape. That’s why Pietraeco’s reconstructed stone is a perfect choice for cladding the façades of mountain homes, naturally blending into the most scenic contexts. In these residences located in the breathtaking Austrian landscapes, the combination of stone and wood creates a visual and material continuity that connects the architecture with its surroundings. The textured and slightly rustic appearance of the stone enhances the clean lines of modern architecture while reinforcing its relationship with the territory. Wood, used in roofing and structural details, pairs perfectly with Pietraeco’s reconstructed stone, creating a charming contrast that aligns with traditional alpine aesthetics. But this is more than just an aesthetic choice: wood naturally retains heat, while Pietraeco’s stone, being lightweight and breathable, is ideal for application over thermal insulation, improving the building’s energy efficiency. Choosing Pietraeco for mountain homes means opting for a solution that combines beauty, functionality, and environmental awareness. Its technical qualities and nature-inspired design make every project a model of sustainable and long-lasting architecture, perfectly integrated into the alpine landscape.
Mountain Chalet

Tradition and Innovation in a Mountain Chalet: Pietraeco Reconstituted Stone Dresses the Austrian Alps The mountain chalet Obergurgl is located in the picturesque Ötztal valley, in the heart of the Tyrolean Alps, a region renowned for its pristine nature and elegant alpine architecture. Nestled in a landscape of rare beauty, this refined hospitality building was designed to harmonize with the surrounding environment by combining traditional materials with modern construction solutions. From the very beginning, the designers chose to use reconstituted stone, a solution that unites aesthetic value, sustainability, and high technical performance, while also guaranteeing a strong architectural identity. For this project, the reconstituted stone Pietraeco, by Rastone, was selected—a material renowned for its high quality, authentic look, and excellent compatibility with thermal insulation systems. The chosen shade recalls the colors of the alpine rock, perfectly blending with the natural palette of the surrounding mountain landscape. The result is a facade that not only enhances the building’s aesthetics but also visually and conceptually integrates it into the local context, highlighting every architectural detail. Beyond its strong visual impact, the reconstituted stone plays an important functional role: thanks to its lightness and breathability, it can be easily applied over thermal insulation, significantly improving the building’s energy efficiency. Furthermore, it is frost-resistant, able to withstand the thermal shocks typical of the harsh alpine winters, where weather conditions can be particularly challenging. This design approach is not only an architectural choice but also a gesture of respect toward the environment and a new way of building at high altitudes. The mountain chalet Obergurgl thus becomes a model of sustainable elegance: a structure where design, comfort, and environmental responsibility merge in perfect balance, representing an exemplary case of contemporary alpine architecture.
