AT HOME IN THE ALPS

In recent years, Alpine architecture has undergone intriguing transformations on multiple fronts. Traditional materials and forms are adapting to new trends and incorporating innovative applications, sparking a renewed interest in mountainous buildings. This trend has been fueled by the sustainable qualities of wood, one of the oldest construction materials, which is traceable, recyclable, durable, and environmentally friendly. High-tech versions of timber, including glulam and cross-laminated timber, further enhance its appeal.

Inside, rectangular-section glulam pillars create a rhythmic sequence, resembling photo frames showcasing the splendid scenery outside, albeit invisible from the exterior.
