Interview with Pedevilla Architects

We created in in 2005. Two brothers as CEO's. Dr. Arch. Armin Pedevilla & Dr. Arch. Alexander Pedevilla.

Full time job.

We do architecture mostly. But do also interior design for our projects.

I changes and depends mostly with the clients.

It all kicked off with the design for a social center and a school.

We do a lot of plaster surfaces which vary on the location we are working. But we also do wood facades.
At the interior we like straight white concrete the most.

The time we're in the office.

Location, client, costs & budget, visuals, geometry, volumetric.

We're very plaesed when we're designing.

Happy to see it turned out the way we wanted.

Visaul satisfication.

Costs & Materiality, Visuals & realisation.

Great responsibility in front of the client. In a way were selling a product to someone.

It's evolving positively. But could be more recognisable from the public.

We do exhibition all the time, mostly international (wandering) exhibitions, which stay on the whole year round.

Insiration comes from the location we're working. But also from the surrounding. Most of our projects are in the mountain region of the dolomites, that gives a lot of impressions.

Traditional and regional modern interpretation.

We live in the middle of South Tyrol, a site which is commonly known for the mountain surrounding of the dolomites.
The mountains have a strong effect on our work.

Yes, we involve other companies in the process.

We would like everyone to do his part, commonly it is the thing that everyone does best.

The design comes to us mainly in the research process. We do a lot of analysis of the location, surrounding & materiality but also the clients wishes.

Chair, table, kitchen, pen, paper.

Work in progress, 10 hours.

Keep on pushing. Once your up, the clients will come to you.

Good thing is that you spend a lot of time with what you like to do most. Bad thing is that you spend a lot of time with what you like to do most.

There is none.

Drawing, visualisation, communication.

PC & pen.

Organisation is everything. But mostly we work until the last moment.

In Architecture that could take some years to be honest!

What does it cost. How does it look like. How doeas it feel.

Winning a project competition is always a good thing. Winning a design price is also very nice indeed.

Mostly private clients, but also hotel owners and official institutions.

Pre design. Because then you do net feel rules at all. They come soon enough and straight afterwards.

Winning the A'Design award. Keep on designing.

We do work as a team. We are 5 designers in the office.

We deal with a lot of private investors at the moment. Therefore the appearence of each design is very different, but unique.

Most people do contact us via email or through our homepage.

None at the moment.
