A wall stretching along the site. A wall that is more

than a wall: it uses the opportunities given by the

natural landscape to create a sheltered space, a

viewpoint, a fireplace and a cabin. The whole project

works as a threshold giving an entry point to the

neighbourhood, leading the visitor up on the hill

towards the fireplace. It stretches along a small

valley and makes a corner around a small hill and

a tree. This way, the project doesn’t occupy the

plateau and has a discrete presence in the landscape.

It protects the user from natural elements and

the landscape becomes a part of the project. The

construction is made with the locally available

materials and uses each material for what it does

best, namely stones, rammed earth and massive

wood elements that are prefabricated and then

assembled on site.
