The newly built Perathoner Headquarters are located in the heart of the Dolomites of Val Gardena. The impressive corporate complex--designed by Bergmeister Wolf Architekten--takes inspiration from the traditional art of wood carving and boasts an impressive facade that is worthy of the wood sculpture company's aesthetic.
Using raw materials, the Bergmeister Wolf Architekten team creates a geometry-infused structure that offers the perfect balance of glass and steel elements. This structural shell is accented by reclaimed wood pieces that evoke movement and dimension.
The Perathoner Headquarters showcases an impressive and inventive use of the age-old and traditional material. Achieving its unconventional and triangular facade, the structure's architects chose to clad the building in shingles that each boast a different warm wood hue.
