An alpine resort complex by ODA-Architecture featuring faceted timber and glass towers designed to integrate with a snowy mountain landscape.
- What we like about this project
- The roof profiles dynamically slope and angle in response to mountain sightlines rather than traditional flat eaves.

- Geometry
- An assembly of faceted multi-story towers with pitched or angular rooflines arranged in a sweeping crescent along a snowy valley base.
- Facade system
- Unitized glass curtain wall with vertical timber mullions and panelized cladding accents.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete podium with steel and timber superstructure for the upper multi-story volumes.
- Spatial scale
- Large-scale hospitality complex dwarfed by sweeping mountain vistas, with human figures and skiers providing immediate relative scale.
- Lighting
- Bright winter daylight with clear blue skies casting soft shadows across the snowy expanse.
- Atmosphere
- Crisp, bright, and active winter atmosphere blending high-end hospitality architecture with rugged mountain nature.
- Environmental context
- High-altitude alpine landscape with evergreen trees framing the foreground and distant snow-capped mountains across a frozen lake or valley.
- Spatial experience
- A vast alpine opening transitions from high ski slopes down to a densely activated resort plaza at the base of the faceted hotel towers.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical timber fins and faceted glazing bays create a rhythmic, crystalline facade texture that mirrors jagged mountain peaks.
