Combining Tradition and Modernity in the Alps
In the picturesque Fragant Valley, a region steeped in history due to its long tradition of copper mining, the Austrian Alpine Club has replaced an existing self-catering hut with a carefully designed new building. This replacement stays true to the original architecture by following the exact footprint and height of its predecessor. By doing so, the design avoids unnecessary land consumption and minimizes any intervention in the sensitive alpine landscape, preserving the natural beauty of the surroundings.
Materials Rooted in Tradition and Sustainability
The choice of materials reflects a deep respect for traditional craftsmanship while embracing ecological responsibility. The facade of the hut is clad in handcrafted larch shingles, a time-honored technique known for durability and weather resistance. The terrace, windows, and doors are also made from robust larch wood, while the interior features exclusively local spruce wood, giving the spaces a warm, inviting character. A concrete base protects the hut from splash water and offers the resilience needed to withstand harsh mountain conditions such as heavy snowfall, wind, and temperature extremes.
A Thoughtful and Compact Spatial Concept
The interior is designed to maximize comfort and functionality within a compact footprint. It includes a cozy living area, a sleeping room with a loft bed that can accommodate up to six people, and a small but functional bathroom. Cooking and heating are done using a traditional wood-burning stove, which enhances the authentic alpine atmosphere.
Flexibility, Comfort, and Respect for Nature
A foldable sliding door provides access to a sheltered terrace, allowing for outdoor use even in poor weather conditions. An adjacent outdoor storage area holds firewood and equipment. This project showcases how modern needs, ecological awareness, and historical heritage can coexist in harmony, creating not just a practical retreat for hikers and mountaineers but also a symbol of sustainable and respectful building in a culturally rich alpine landscape.
