Arch. Werner Tscholl , born in 1955 in Latsch, studies in Florence. His main theme is modern architecture; his projects without frills are of a “geometrical elementary force" and are forming modern culture. His buildings may be considered “inhabitable sculptures”. Some of his exemplary restorations: Fürstenburg, Schlandersburg and Schlandersberg, his own stronghold castle “Reichenberg”, the mountain museum of Reinhold Messner at Sigmundskron Castle (in plannings).

The architect combined the archaic form of the round tower and his own consequent form discipline with some smart ideas such as the electronically controlled steel drawbridge , which makes the house unreachable for uninvited guests.

The cylinder of 22 m height stands firm on the slope showing to the mountainside a massive wall of quarrystone broken through only by some loophole like windows. The building is fully open to the valley side. The back placed wall is of glass. The open spaces in front of it form a whole network of terraces, balconies and lookouts, which give marvellous impressions of the beauty of nature from the whole environment.
The arrangement of the rooms was adapted to the exposed location. Even in midwinter, when it is already getting dark in the valley, the tower is still lighted by the sun. A reason because also the rooms on the backside get their light just with the winter sun.
A new and unusual aspect of a round tower is the double cylinder: in the middle of the Rotund a glass barrel with a glass roof was placed. By doing this the contrast between openness and compactness of the outer wall could be emphasized again. The tower protects its inhabitants on the one side, but lets them take part of the gigantic alpine scenery on the other side. The idea of an “as well…as” construction represents the essential unique and modern aspects of this house.
