Located on a mountain ridge, the existing Levi ski
center provides the framework for the future Koutalaki Ski Village which is
conceived as a gentle extension of the summit and the existing cluster of
buildings in Koutalaki. BIG proposes to create a series of buildings that
radiate out from a central square and whose ends touch the ground to create
four freestanding buildings that each provide access to the roof and allow the
skiers to descend from the resort’s rooftop downhill in any direction. The soft
curves of the undulating roofs of the four buildings create a visual continuity
of the natural landscape while lending the whole village the unique character
of a skislope skyline that creates an inhabited mountain top.
