INFINITY

BIWAK

description

Set on the Alp d’Ur in Puschlav at 1,945 m above sea level, the project reinterprets a cluster of twelve stone huts arranged around a meadow. The intervention opens selected huts with passageways that align to form a visual axis through the staggered walls towards the vast valley. Along this axis, the spatial sequence unfolds — from reception to living and sleeping areas, ending in a ruin transformed into an open garden terrace. The huts retain their rustic exterior while being insulated and lined with timber inside, providing a bivouac for twelve people. The garden, planted with sedum and alpine flowers, forms a delicate contrast to the rough stone surroundings — an exploration of infinity through layered thresholds, framed views and spatial depth.
