CASE STUDY
For the external parts of the structure , the material chosen is larch wood in large format with a sheet metal roof . The idea was to create a non-invasive building that would blend in perfectly with its surroundings . The use of rocks in the lower part emphasises the profound relationship between the structure and the place where it is located , to give the feeling that the building was born from the mountain itself : recalling the mountains , following the slope and continuing the play with the ground , giving the building the same angular lines as the mountain . The basement of the building was therefore covered with rocks , between which the natural greenery typical of the Cervinia area was born , thus creating vertical green play on the rocks .
