This cabin is built through the materials combination and the way of relating it with the area: in this way the concrete, with its rough appearance, is used for being mixed with the snow. Besides, the oak wood is used in the windows frames and in the doors. With that it is achieved the visually connection between the building and the dense forest which acts as a background.
The inner rooms are projected in a way that the surrounding landscape is an active part of the furnitures. The windows frames, made in oak wood, achieves that the different views to the valley are seen by the guests as real time paintings.
