Arch. Lucio Merlini
In the heart of Val di Fassa, in Alba di Canazei, this apartment reinterprets the mountain home with a contemporary sensibility.
Designed by architect Lucio Merlini, the project stands out for its clean lines, attention to detail, and use of natural materials, enhanced by the custom-made furnishings by Fietta Prestige.
It is a perfect example of how refined craftsmanship and technical precision can coexist with architectural clarity, creating spaces that are harmonious, functional, and refined.
Throughout the apartment, a continuous dialogue between wood, stone, and natural light defines the character of the space. Warm oak tones alternate with dark, textured surfaces in black lacquer and porcelain stoneware, creating an elegant and sophisticated contrast.
Every element has been designed and built to measure by Fietta Prestige, ensuring aesthetic and functional continuity.
Precise proportions, invisible joints, and meticulous attention to wood grain create interiors that evoke balance, order, and calm.
The natural warmth of oak, paired with anthracite and graphite tones, establishes an atmosphere of understated comfort, where mountain tradition meets minimal design.
The living area—comprising the kitchen, dining, and lounge—is conceived as an open, fluid, and luminous space.
The custom kitchen is the focal point of the interior composition: vertical oak panels contrast with dark, stone-effect fronts and a seamless black worktop and backsplash that enhance the visual purity of the design.
Handleless cabinets and integrated appliances underline the minimalist aesthetic, while technical materials ensure durability and ease of maintenance.
A round dining table in dark wood and upholstered chairs create an intimate and welcoming area that complements the space’s overall rhythm.
The soft, neutral-toned sofa introduces tactile comfort and visual balance, harmonizing with the rigor of the surrounding materials.
Lighting, carefully designed, combines diffused light and sculptural fixtures, bringing out the textures and subtle contrasts within the interior.
One of the project’s distinctive aspects is the integration of custom furniture into the architectural structure.
Wall panels, shelving, and wardrobes are designed in perfect continuity with the vertical surfaces, alternating oak finishes and dark lacquer.
The result is a visually clean composition that conceals functionality within an aesthetic framework.
The entrance and sleeping area maintain the same material language, where each element is functional, discreet, and coherent with the overall space.
Attention to ergonomics and practicality ensures a layout that feels both ordered and comfortable in everyday use.
A defining feature of this Alba di Canazei apartment is its custom-designed sauna, crafted entirely in natural wood.
Clad in light fir panels and enclosed by glass, the sauna becomes a private wellness retreat, perfectly integrated into the bathroom area.
Its proportions, ergonomically shaped benches, and the soft lighting filtering through the glass create a serene and sensory atmosphere, in harmony with the alpine surroundings outside.
Here, Fietta Prestige’s craftsmanship once again shines through: every element combines functionality, elegance, and durability, celebrating the natural beauty of wood.
This apartment in Alba di Canazei embodies the balance between tradition and modernity, between mountain warmth and architectural minimalism.
Every detail—from the kitchen to the sauna, from the storage units to the lighting—contributes to a consistent and elegant design narrative.
The project by Arch. Lucio Merlini, realized by Fietta Prestige, demonstrates how bespoke interior design can transform a home into a complete living experience, where form, material, and light coexist in perfect harmony.
As in all Fietta Prestige projects, excellence comes from the synergy between artisanal expertise and advanced technology.
Each custom-made piece reflects the company’s dedication to detail, precision, and long-lasting quality.
Through close collaboration between designer and craftsman, every space achieves a unique identity—functional, aesthetic, and enduring.
