Mountaineer’s Refuge

Description

The proposal involved building, through planes and angles, a structure that provides an entrance through its folds and exterior views through its cuts. Built around a central core of services, the exterior shape and interior volume are defined by the folds. At one end of the cabin is the bedroom, along with a storage room for mountaineering equipment. The other end features a sitting area where the nearby mountain draws the eye toward the panoramic view.

Statement of the jury

The striking design vernacular will ensure a high level of recognisability. In addition, the large glass window offers a spectacular view.
