Armin and Alexander Pedevilla studied architecture at the Technical University in Graz. Both independently founded their own office in Austria after graduation. Driven by the desire for alpine building, the brothers returned to South Tyrol in 2005 to jointly found the office pedevilla architects. Since then, pedevilla architects have made a name for themselves in the national and international architecture scene and now is one of the renowned offices in Europe. Their work has received numerous awards, has been published and has been shown in numerous architectural exhibitions. This was followed by lectures at universities and institutions in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia and Croatia, as well as acting as jurors in architectural competitions.For pedevilla architects, building means consciously dealing with social, cultural, economic and ecological components of everyday life. The integration of a building into existing local structures plays an equally important role as the response to the respective temperature and climate influences. In this context, the issue of consistency becomes an important factor in planning decisions.

„We are concerned with the cycles of the materials used, their durability and service life, but also with traditional craftsmanship methods that have been handed down, with knowledge that was thought to be lost; but above all with the fact that materials live.”
