Prato Lerpa

Five apartments in Borgata Lerpa, Sappada

Where a house once stood, a building of 5 apartments on 4 levels is planned, with a meadow to the south. Here you can open it floor by floor before it exists: the volumes, the rooms, the winter sun, the strengths and drawbacks of each home.

apartments: 5
m² net, as designed: 34-73
levels: 4
m² of meadow to the south: about 800

Reworked with AIFootage generated by AI from the summer illustration from the meadow: a slow move in and the grass stirring. The first and last frames are the same illustration, whole and enlarged by 7%. Checked frame by frame: the building does not deform and nothing appears that was not in the illustration. Edited by hand to play forwards and back, so that it loops without a cut, and the same pale mark on the plaster was removed. Illustration generated with AI from the 3D model derived from the project: volumes, openings and roof are those of the project; materials, light and landscape are indicative. The project is being finalised.ModelNano Banana Pro · Kling 3.0Source photoOur model of the project · SappadaVillasLicenceour own materialDate7 October 2026Its line in the credits

Illustration generated with AI from the 3D model derived from the project: volumes, openings and roof are those of the project; materials, light and landscape are indicative. The project is being finalised. The movement is AI-generated too.

From outside

From the meadow and from the road

Four illustrations of the finished building at eye level: one from the road and three from the meadow, the same framing in three lights. They start from our model: the number and position of windows, balconies, roof slopes and roof terraces are those of the project. Materials and colours follow the elevations (light render below, larch boards above, dark roof) and may change.

Prato Lerpa seen from the meadow on a summer morning: four levels, two long timber balconies facing south, two terraces set into the roof and the band of solar panels. AI-generated illustration. — From the meadow, a summer morning

The same view of Prato Lerpa from the meadow, in winter: snow on the meadow, the forest and the roof, the solar panels clear. AI-generated illustration. — From the meadow, in winter

The same view of Prato Lerpa from the meadow, at dusk, with the windows lit. AI-generated illustration. — From the meadow, at the blue hour

What they do not show: the landscape is generic, it is not Lerpa's, and the neighbouring houses are not drawn. In reality the building stands within the hamlet, along the regional road.

The project, opened up

The cutaway

The model is built from the project measurements: four floors, the walls, the openings, the roof. Open it: the roof lifts, the floors separate and the walls stay cut at 1.15 m, so the rooms can be read from above. Each apartment has its own colour.

Loading the model

Scale model: volumes, roof and openings from the project measurements; abstract materials, light below and timber above. The project is being finalised: facades and finishes may change.

The building as an exploded axonometric: the four floors pulled apart, from the lower ground floor to the attic, and above them the lifted pitched roof with the two terrace cut-outs and the photovoltaic field. — Furniture, materials and lighting are AI-generated. Volumes, walls, openings, balconies and roof come from the model built from the project drawings. The facade materials are abstract (light below, timber above) and the furnishing is indicative: for the rooms of each home, refer to its own view. The project is still being defined: facades and finishes may change.

Strengths and drawbacks, given equal weight

The five homes

Five apartments that differ in floor, size and aspect. For each we say what it has and what it does not: it is more useful to know now.

The garden

Two-bedroom · lower ground floor, on the meadow

72.58 m²net, as designed

The only one with a garden of its own and a separate entrance. Above ground towards the meadow, below ground towards the road.

Axonometric cutaway of the lower-ground-floor apartment, seen from above with no ceiling: living room with kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom, laundry and cellar room; in front, the paved strip and part of the lawn. — Furniture, kitchen, bathroom fixtures, floor finishes and lighting are AI-generated. Walls, doors, windows, stairs and balconies come from the model built from the project drawings: their position has not been altered. The lawn is drawn only in part. The two small, high windows of the living room sit above the height at which the walls are cut: one does not appear, the other is shown larger than it is. A washbasin the AI had placed in the cellar room was removed by hand.

Floor: Lower ground floor
Bedrooms: 2 bedrooms · 1 bathroom
Also: Utility room with a window and an internal cellar of 8.00 m²
Outside: private garden, about 180 m²
Aspects: south, east
Access: Separate, by the outdoor steps

Strengths

The only one with a garden of its own: a strip of meadow to the south about 7.8 m deep and as wide as the plot (about 180 m², scaled from the drawing, to be confirmed).
Separate entrance from the garden, without going through the stairwell.
Living room and both bedrooms face south, onto the meadow.
It is the largest: 72.58 m² net, with a utility room with a window and a service room of 8.00 m² with a glazed door.
It is the side furthest from the road: the building shields it.

Drawbacks

It is the lower ground floor: to the north it is against the earth, and the floor is 2.80 m below the ground floor.
It is reached by the outdoor steps on the west side (about 2.5 m down from the road); the project shows no internal link to the lift.
The living room gets its light from one glazed door to the south and two small windows to the east; the ground-floor balcony projects 1.26 m above the south openings.
Bathroom without a window.
The 8.00 m² room is a cellar with a glazed door, not a third bedroom.
The garden is in an agricultural zone: it is meadow, and meadow it stays.
The viewpoint starts at meadow level: it is the lowest in the building.

Who it suits: A family with children or a dog; anyone who wants to step straight out onto the meadow; anyone looking for a home to live in for long periods, not only at weekends.
Who it suits less: Anyone who has difficulty with steps; anyone who puts the view first.

The balcony on the meadow

Two-bedroom · ground floor, meadow side

62.58 m²net, as designed

At road level but facing south: the living room and the main bedroom open onto the balcony.

Axonometric cutaway of the ground-floor apartment on the meadow side: living room with kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and laundry; along the south front, the balcony. — Furniture, kitchen, bathroom fixtures, floor finishes and lighting are AI-generated. Walls, doors, windows, stairs and balconies come from the model built from the project drawings: their position has not been altered.

Floor: Ground floor
Bedrooms: 2 bedrooms · 1 bathroom
Also: Utility room drawn with basin and WC
Outside: south-facing balcony, about 14.5 m²

Two full-size bedrooms: 14.11 and 12.50 m².
At road level, next to the entrance and the lift, but on the meadow side.

Drawbacks

The first-floor balcony projects above its own and takes some light from the glazed doors.
The balcony looks onto the private garden of the apartment below.
The east windows face the neighbouring building, 6.9 m away.
A few steps between the forecourt and the shared entrance: step-free access is to be confirmed.
The utility room is not a second bathroom: in the project it remains a utility room.

Who it suits: A couple or a family of three or four; a second home that is easy to use all year round.
Who it suits less: Anyone looking for the top floor.

The one-bedroom

One-bedroom · ground floor, road side

33.77 m²net, as designed

The small one: one bedroom, three aspects, a few steps from the entrance. It faces the road, not the meadow.

Axonometric cutaway of the one-bedroom apartment on the ground floor, street side: living room with kitchen, one bedroom and the bathroom; no outdoor space. — Furniture, kitchen, bathroom fixtures, floor finishes and lighting are AI-generated. Walls, doors, windows, stairs and balconies come from the model built from the project drawings: their position has not been altered.

Bedroom of 13.00 m².

Drawbacks

It faces the regional road: it is on the ground floor, with the facade less than two metres from the pavement.
No south aspect.
No balcony and no outdoor space.
Bathroom without a window; no storage room and no utility room.
Living room of 16.00 m² with the kitchen in it.

Who it suits: One or two people; a base for skiing and walking; anyone buying to let.
Who it suits less: Anyone looking for southern sun and outdoor space; families.

The first floor

Two-bedroom · first floor, meadow side

61.98 m²net, as designed

First floor facing south, with the long balcony and the walk-in wardrobe. The lift reaches the floor.

Axonometric cutaway of the first-floor apartment on the meadow side: living room with kitchen, two bedrooms, walk-in wardrobe, bathroom and laundry; along the south front, the balcony. — Furniture, kitchen, bathroom fixtures, floor finishes and lighting are AI-generated. Walls, doors, windows, stairs and balconies come from the model built from the project drawings: their position has not been altered.

Bathroom and utility room have no window (mechanical ventilation).
Living room of 22.27 m², the smallest among the two-bedroom homes, with the kitchen in it.
Above are the bedrooms and terraces of the duplex.
The fitted utility room is not a second bathroom: in the project it remains a utility room until confirmed otherwise.

Who it suits: A couple or a family with one child; a second home with a south-facing balcony.
Who it suits less: Anyone who needs two large bedrooms.

The duplex in the roof

Duplex · first floor on the road, attic floor on the meadow

65.26 m²net, as designed

Living on the first floor, sleeping under the roof, with two terraces set into the south pitch. The living room faces the road.

Axonometric cutaway of the duplex, its two levels shown side by side: on the left the living level with living room, kitchen, laundry, internal staircase and corner balcony; on the right the sleeping level under the roof with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and two terraces cut into the roof. — Furniture, kitchen, bathroom fixtures, floor finishes and lighting are AI-generated. Walls, doors, windows, stairs and balconies come from the model built from the project drawings: their position has not been altered. The two levels are placed side by side so that both can be seen: in reality the sleeping level sits above the living level. An object the AI had placed in the stairwell was removed by hand.

Floor: First floor + Attic floor
Bedrooms: 2 bedrooms · 2 bathrooms
Also: Utility room with basin and WC on the living floor
Outside: corner balcony, about 13.5 m²roof terrace, 7.97 m²roof terrace, 8.96 m²

Corner balcony on the north-west side, in front of the living room (about 13.5 m²).
Two bathrooms on the sleeping floor, one with a window, and a utility room with basin and WC on the living floor.
Living room with openings on three sides; nobody above.

Drawbacks

The living room faces the road, to the north: the sun and the meadow are on the bedroom floor.
The lift reaches the first floor; the sleeping floor is reached by the internal stairs.
Single bedroom of 8.00 m²; double bedroom of 12.07 m².
Under the roof the height averages 2.40 m and drops to 2.00 m towards the terraces.
The lofts beside the bedrooms are not habitable.
The balcony on the road side is in the plans but not in the most recent project images: to be confirmed.

Who it suits: A family that wants to separate day and night; anyone who values south-facing terraces.
Who it suits less: Anyone who does not want stairs inside the home; anyone who wants the living room in the sun.

A Lerpa address, Granvilla distances

The place

Lerpa is the westernmost hamlet of Sappada, the first you reach coming from Cadore. The building stands at its eastern end, on the downhill side of the regional road, at about 1,224 m: which is why the bread, the bus and the church are those of Granvilla. We give the precise location to those who contact us.

The valley from west to east, with its hamlets. Highlighted: the stretch of Lerpa towards Granvilla. The area, not the building.

On foot

On the level, along the pavement of the regional road.

Walking routes on the OpenStreetMap network, OSRM (FOSSGIS) engine, computed on 6 October 2026. The minutes are those of the engine: they do not allow for snow, waiting or crossings. You cannot ski from the door: the lifts are 1.1-2.4 km away.

Hours of sun

Direct sun on the spot, taking the mountains into account.

Day	Direct sun	From, to	Sunrise to sunset
21 December	about 4 h	10:50 - 14:50	about 8 h 15 min
20 March	about 10 h 30 min	06:40 - 17:00	about 12 h
21 June	about 14 h 30 min	06:00 - 20:30	about 15 h 45 min
22 September	about 10 h 30 min	07:20 - 17:50	about 12 h

At the winter solstice the sun reaches the spot at about 10:50 and leaves at about 14:50: the afternoon is short. It peaks at 20° above the horizon.

Our own calculation: sun position with the NOAA algorithm, mountain profile from the TINITALY 1.1 (INGV) terrain model at 10 m (CC BY 4.0), observer 5 m above the ground. Buildings, trees and fog are not counted. Uncertainty: about 15 minutes. Times are local time.

It says what is around, not what can be seen from each window: nearby houses and trees are not counted. The view has to be checked on site, floor by floor.

About 800 m², to the south

The meadow

South of the building the property continues with about 800 m² of meadow. Under the land-use plan it is valley-floor agricultural land (E4.2): today the rules prohibit works that alter the meadows irreversibly. The same applies to the meadows beyond, towards the Piave, and the whole municipality is under landscape protection.

It is a planning protection, not a guarantee: a land-use rule can be changed by an amendment. That is why you will not read “guaranteed view” here.

It applies to buyers too: nothing is built or paved on the meadow, and fences are low and made of wood. The first 7.8 m in front of the facade are the private area of the lower-ground-floor home; the use of the rest has not yet been defined.

Rules: municipal zoning plan of Sappada, amendment 3, approved on 8 April 2024.

Without pretending to know

What we know and what we do not

A preview is worth something if it also says what is missing. What is in the right-hand column we will write here when we can stand behind it.

Defined

The volumes: two blocks under a pitched roof, 4 residential levels, a lift.
The number and size of the homes: 5 apartments, from 34 to 73 m² net.
The net areas as designed, room by room.
The works: demolition and reconstruction, in place of a house that was there.
The meadow to the south and its planning designation.

To be defined

Facades and finishes: there are two versions of the project. That is why the model stays a neutral scale model.
Ancillary spaces: 4 open-air parking spaces and 3 cellars for 5 apartments, not allocated. No garage.
Timing: there is not yet a schedule we can stand behind.
Prices: not published.
Energy class: not declared. By law a demolition and reconstruction today is designed to nearly-zero-energy-building requirements; the class is given by the certificate, and the design class will appear here when it exists.
Construction system and services: not yet documented.
Step-free access to the entrance and the lift: to be confirmed.
Exact orientation and the view from each floor: to be checked by survey and on site.

Frequently asked questions

Where is it, exactly?

In Borgata Lerpa, the westernmost hamlet of Sappada, on the downhill side of the regional road, on the stretch towards Granvilla. We give the precise location to those who contact us.

Will the meadow in front stay open?

The meadow to the south is part of the property and is classified by the land-use plan as valley-floor meadow, where works that alter it irreversibly are prohibited; the same applies to the meadows beyond, and the whole municipality is under landscape protection. It is a serious protection; it is a rule, and rules can be changed: that is why we do not write “guaranteed”.

How much does it cost?

Prices are not published. Leave your details and we will contact you with the information available on the individual homes.

When will it be ready?

We do not yet have a schedule to publish. We will tell those who have written to us as soon as there is a date we can stand behind.

Is there a garage?

No. The project provides open-air parking spaces and cellars; the allocation home by home has not yet been defined.

How is it built?

The project is being finalised: we will publish the construction system and the design energy class here once they are confirmed.
