Lukas Rungger&Stefan Rier:at the moment our core team consists of 20 architects/interior designers from italy, greece and spain. noa* at the moment is mainly designing hotels and private villas, spanning from architecture to interiors, object design, lighting design and landscaping. the projects range from smaller extensions to large “hotel villages”, placed in italy, austria, germany, croatia, united kingdom. Designer & Designing:please introduce some of your representative projects at present. Lukas Rungger&Stefan Rier:such as Villa am steinbruch and hotel Valentinerhof. the Villa “am steinbruch”, a private house hosting two families, is established in the outskirts of the village of oberbozen / soprabolzano (it) facing the great mountain panorama of the dolomites. the place is a former quarry, which was the starting point in the development of the concept.the lower parts of the high plateau of the ritten / renon area are lined with vineyards, which grow at the steep hillsides; the different rows are supported by dry stone walls, which form elements of the cultural landscape. noa* implements the stone wall in the same way as it is used in the vineyards - as a supporting element.the aim was to implement the architecture into the surrounding in the most natural way; therefore
