Alps Cacoons an oasis from urban buzz

Currently, people care more about their well-being and appreciate spending free time in natural surroundings. The idea was to form a small village embedded in the terrain in a way that the buildings merge with the ground. Each pod is designed to be compact but also to include every necessary functions which are specifically targeted to observe the nature.

ARCA mountain resort

While designing a simple body, we wanted to fit well into the natural landscape. To make the building not too simple, we added a dynamic cut which represents shape of the lake and "second layer of facade", which changes the perception of the building depending on the point of observation.

Snow Dwell Inn

Near a water reservoir this project mimics the spectacular profiles of the surrounding mountains. At a high altitude of almost 4,000mts, this refugee is not only a place to spend part of the day, but it is also a ski in ski out resort to spend couple of days for retreat or vacation, alone, couple or family.

Cross the Season

"Cross the Season" is a new form based on Vorsäß. The biggest feature of Vorsäß can be seen as the fact that simple masses are composed without boundaries depending on the mountain range and topography. Based on these characteristics, we reinterpreted the form and proceeded these project.

GLACIER METAMORPHOSIS_Climate change and melting Alps

The Swiss glaciers as known as the water tower of Europe. Due to climate change the uneven glacial runoff due to melting, water shortage or drought is projected to occur more often. Also, the retreat induces a lot of hazards to the environment and ecosystem changing the landform and existing system. How to tackle the rising issue?

The Empathy Forest

The Future Model Learning environment should be based on 'Empathy'. Our current eco-system is collapsing because of a lack of empathy among world leaders, politicians, policy makers, corporates and the common man. Unstructured free learning in a Permaculture based empathetic environment will kindle young minds to respect nature and respond gently.
