Situated to the west of an existing alpine restaurant, five exclusive condominium units form the sloping landscape in symbiosis between nature and architecture. The alpine resort stands out as a counterpoint to maximum possible formal reduction, and through its berth-like windows, especially after sunset. The choice of materials and the interiors are an interpretation of alpine building tradition: predominately stone and wood, therefore creating a suitable atmosphere.
