Building with wood has led to centuries-old craftsmanship construction methods that are similar around the world. Today, however, designers and technicians have expanded the structural resistance of natural wood so that it can now be called an engineered material with a bright future. New wood products are expanding the boundaries of wood as a building material, so much so that it is now entering our cities built with concrete as a structural option. In mountainous regions, the new high-tech buildings with low environmental impact are moving away from the typical traditional typologies, adopting confident designs eager to combine environmental responsibility with technological innovation and cutting-edge design. The Chalet by Jadric is part of this change. Although taking the traditional name, and retaining some features of the traditional alpine house, it stands for something completely new. This family vacation house on the slope of the Dachstein Mountains is intriguingly minimalist. The air of sober privacy and humility typical of alpine buildings is achieved through a play of solids and voids on the facades under a large gabled roof.
