Kitzbühel

The elegance of stone meets the charm of the Alps: in Kitzbühel, a new way of experiencing the mountains is born. The small Alpine town of Kitzbühel lies in Eastern Tyrol. The streets of the village, dating back to the medieval period, create a perfect contrast with the modern style of new buildings enhancing every details. Pietraeco put its signature on the walls of this elegant and refined building, where stone wood and water blend to enhance the mountain landscape that characterize the area. The water mirror of the panoramic swimming pool reflects light in the walls, realized with reconstructed stone, adorning the whole building. Pietraeco is the leading actor of these luxury apartments. After a complete evaluation of the whole project, it was defined the manufactured stone in Antracite color. The cold tones marry in an excellent way with the warm colors of the wooden details, ideal to adorn the naturalistic context of the area. The added value is given by the grouting with gross grain effect, which gives a rustic and old look as mountain walls area. This aesthetic results is possible thanks to Ecostucco, a grout that is part of Pietraeco integrated system for reconstructed stones. Pietraeco is made with the best raw material on the market such as Portland cement, quarry aggregates, stones and colored mineral oxides. The project carried out in Kitzbühel strikes a perfect balance between modern architecture and respect for the mountain landscape. Pietraeco products by Rastone bring timeless elegance to every space, along with the durability needed to withstand the alpine climate. The reconstructed stone is suitable for any environment thanks to its technical qualities: frost-resistant and tested in various weather conditions, it proves ideal even for high-altitude settings. A choice that combines aesthetics, performance, and a deep connection to the mountain.

Living room wall

Pietraeco leaves its unmistakable signature on the interior walls of this modern lounge. Following careful study and attentive listening to the client’s needs, the reconstructed Mattone was chosen. Pietraeco offers a wide selection of reconstructed bricks in various models and colors, each composed of flat elements and matching corner pieces. These are made using a diverse range of molds that differ in shape and thickness, ensuring a natural and varied look. Each reconstructed brick by Pietraeco is unique and unrepeatable — shaped by skilled artisan hands and installed by professional masons who create aesthetically perfect, stylish walls. The reconstructed bricks by Rastone, illuminated by vertical beams of light, contribute to a welcoming atmosphere filled with warmth and character. Pietraeco’s reconstructed bricks preserve the charm of traditional brickwork, highlighting every strength while eliminating imperfections. These bricks are ideal for indoor spaces, not only as architectural finishes but as true design elements that elevate interiors from rustic homes to modern residences, enhancing both architectural and decorative features. Every stage of wall creation with Pietraeco reconstructed stones or bricks is handled with the utmost care — from the initial feasibility study to the final installation — ensuring precision and beauty at every step. This project is a clear example of how Pietraeco products by Rastone combine aesthetics, functionality, and tradition in a single architectural solution. It’s not just about wall cladding, but about a stylistic choice that gives personality to the space while meeting the practical and technical needs of modern construction. Reconstructed brick becomes a key feature, infusing the room with warmth, elegance, and attention to detail.
