What does architecture look like above 10,000 feet?
What does architecture look like, above 10,000 feet?
Accessible only by gondola, this Austrian ski lodge site 11,000 feet above sea level. It is designed to work with the natural landscape's sheer visual and physical power; the structure is perched on the mountain's summit to enable nature's unique "snow architecture" to accumulate and melt unimpeded. An abundance of glass windows allows for nearly 360-degree views, framed by a specially engineered floor and roof designed to withstand the elements and huge temperature swing of the setting.
