The project emerged from a critical attitude toward conventional alpine architecture, seeking an experimental approach that respects the natural topography. Questioning environmental coexistence, the design preserved a mature Scots pine tree, making it an integral element of the courtyard. Addressing the functional problems of harsh weather, the architecture provides an original response through a dramatic cantilever resting on a concrete V-column. This creates a protected semi-open area that delights visitors while offering shelter from heavy snowfall. Socially and formally, the lounge generates added value by prioritizing the occupant’s connection to nature. The dynamic glazed facade—scaling up to 9.30 meters—and the rising roof form directly frame the mountain silhouette, transforming the space into a unique, immersive experience that celebrates the dramatic character of the landscape.
