We believe in an architecture that dialogues with its surrounding while challenging its status quo, radical in its conceptual ideals and ecological in its principles.

 

Studio Beltrame has a long tradition in alpine architecture, founded by Claudio in 1978 in the mountains of Tarvisio. When you grow up in such a small and beautiful location, surrounded by large forests and idyllic lakes, a passion for nature, plants and ecological material comes naturally.

We aim to bring this passion into our design and at every scale. The challenges that our industry is facing and causing are stronger now than in 1978 and therefore, since Luca joined in 2013, we are even more convinced about the urgency of a diverse way of making architecture. A way that pursues regenerative principles, challenges construction in unconventional ways and designs flexible spaces for ever-changing futures.

We start from the belief that understanding tradition is the key to interpreting it in a meaningful and contemporary way., We want to take something dear to our local belongings and bring it somewhere where it can have a positive impact on our global world.
