The three cabins combine functionality and nature in a space that breathes the mountains. Organised into five zones (living, eating, dressing, resting and sleeping), every detail has been designed to connect with the outdoors.
The bed facing the bay window transforms waking up into a connection with the mountains, the wood burning stove warms winter nights in the living room, and even natural logs serve as tables, integrating the forest into the interior.

Rustic woods, earthy tones and indirect light create cosy environments, while open wardrobes and furniture adapted to the sloping walls optimise the space without compromising the view. Each choice reinforces the connection to the landscape, so that those who use them can also enjoy nature.
