The forestry station in the center of Nova Ponente/Deutschnofen is a highly functional administrative building that combines purpose with its surroundings. It houses the local forestry office of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano/Bozen. The building represents responsible use of resources through construction in wood, a material closely tied to the daily work of its users. The architecture reinterprets the traditional two-story residential houses of the area with pitched roofs. Their forms are reduced to essentials, creating a conscious contrast. The design remains in dialogue with the existing context while expressing a clear, purpose-driven material and form language.
