The design process for this winter resort was dictated by the extreme climate and the dramatic verticality of the landscape. We adopted the iconic A-frame typology not just for its aesthetic appeal, but for its functional ability to shed heavy snowfall efficiently. To balance the stark exterior environment, the interiors were conceived as warm, tactile shells, utilizing locally sourced stone masonry and raw timber structural members to create a sense of grounded protection. The spatial experience focuses on the view, with the steep rooflines framing the mountain peaks through expansive glazing, turning the landscape into the primary decorative element of the rooms.
