This alpine getaway is exactly made for escaping the daily hectic. From the moment you step into this space, the mood is set. You have arrived in the alps. A wooden framework of natural oak will receive you, and lead you onwards to discover your stay. On your way, beyond turning points, behind hidden doors and hallways, you will find various spaces which each offers a different perspective. As in the mountains, views change often depending on your location. This cabin lets you discover itself in similar ways.

Like a tree, letting its roots connect to its surroundings by getting a solid grip below surface, the main wooden gure seeks its way into its new environment. Light appears from various slits and brightens up all the spaces, each in their unique way. It creates a special atmosphere or emphasises the carved out directing angles. In between, rock formations alternate the woodwork, housing in their turn water and re, as they tend to do in nature.
