Messner Architects is founded in 2013 by David and Verena Messner, brother and sister. The studio is located at 1.200 m.a.sl. near Bolzano in Northern Italy. The practice is working on a contemporary approach in any scale, ranging from housing and functional buildings to furniture and brand-design up to landscape projects. The primary aim of developing user- and site-specific concepts is to think and build high quality architecture. A largely regional context defines the studio’s field of action characterizing the architects’ view on the delicate relationship of built and grown. The critical look at something given and the use of transdisciplinary strategies lead to a creative dialogue between architecture, landscape, art and design

Wooden elements for a studio in Bolzano. Well-equipped walls define the functions

In Collalbo, near Bolzano, Messner Architects Studio designs its own studio restructuring an open space and dividing the internal space by inserting two mere parallels, completely covered in wood, which incorporate all the functions.

Church in the Alpine woods. Renovation for a welcoming and meditative space

Dating back to 1954, the church of Stella, in the province of Bolzano, a spiritual place loved by tourists and locals, has been renovated by the artist Messner to give light to a space with a familiar and welcoming atmosphere
