The Mountain Refuge

Designed by Gnocchi+Danesi architects, the project acts as a contemporary interpretation of old traditional mountain refuges, bringing in architectural character and spatial quality.

The Mountain Refuge is the evocation of an archetype through a contemporary composition principle.

The building is made from a prefabricated wood construction system. Each module has an independent structure, allowing freedom of configuration and expansion.
Different layout configurations offer the possibility to manage space according to the needs. The design could stand alone as one 24-meter-square space, or include an optional second module to add 12 square meters of floor space.

Gnocchi and Danesi designed Mountain Refuge as a contemporary space that can help the guests to discover a connection with nature.

“The cabin’s concept is inspired by traditional archetypes, evoked through contemporary principles,” they said.
