2016 Southern Architecture Awards Winner
The New Remarkables Base Amenities Building
Set in the harshest of environments, this elegant shed is the workhorse of the mountain. To minimise the effects on the upper peaks the building is dug into the slope - a move that allows the top floor to open directly onto the snow. Other benefits of this seamless transition are a sunny aspect and fabulous northern views. The kitchen amenities are centrally located, with dining and resting areas broken into smaller volumes with varying characters. Left exposed, the structural steel support elements are suitably impressive for the loads they bear. With its triangular plan and soaring mono-pitched roof, this building presents itself as a dramatic and elegant wing to the mountains.
