Carlana Mezzalira Pentimalli architectural office competed a music school in Bressanone, Italy. The completed building is made of monolithic concrete volumes. The exterior walls are decorated with a subtle hand-hammered pattern, thereby adding a textured effect.
The Music School of Bressanone was founded in 1961 and is one of the South Tyrol region's most important cultural institutions. The Trevino-based architectural group honored the institution's historical value with its scaled-back yet subtly decorated design. Boasting straight edges in a modernist style, the building's concrete walls are slightly tinted in a light pink color. The project comprises a compact volume arranged across three stories. The top floor is set back from the external facades to mitigate the school's impact on the city skyline to create a dissolving illusion.
