The architecture is defined by the special nature of the site. At a point commanding a magnificent view of a closed mountain valley, the site is like a pulpit: close to the sky with the surroundings unfolding under and away from the spot. The objective of the architectural project was to be a catalyst for this imposing experience. It is a wooden construction placed along a narrow and winding road; a recreational spot where one stops to let the pulse of difficult driving be replaced by the dimensional breeze of the outlook.
