alpine design

Architonic has an article taking a look at high alpine buildings.

I like very much how the reflective surface of the Monte Rosa lodge (above), coupled with its shape, allows the building to take on the colours and character of its surroundings. And yet it is not lost; it’s a proud and attractive adornment of the landscape.

The inside is a delight and a surprise:
