The building was constructed in 1993 and it adopted a minimalistic design which combines a variety of wood types with tufa. It has huge windows that run from its floors to the ceiling and also has numerous south-facing balconies which are sheltered. It is a modern design 22-flat complex and is part of CADONAU-Das Seniorzentrum. Its purpose is to give elderly people from mountain villages a nice place and a chance to get treatment whilst being amongst natural soundings.

This is one of my favorites designs by Peter Zumthor because once again it shows a good contrast between the outside and inside, the area where it is located and the building itself gives the good idea of a peaceful place for elderly. Natural light and natural sounds are important for seniors, since these people need calm and be away from the noisy city. And this building has been designed to maximize the feeling of bringing the outside inside.
