[”Mountain Guardian” by TerraViva]The project reimagines the traditional mountain bivouac by proposing a vertical structure conceived as a landmark along the ridge. Externally, it appears as a compact, faceted monolith inspired by local rock formations, clad in a mix of expanded metal and smooth panels, with red steel elements referencing mountaineering equipment. Inside, the space is organized as a habitable tower, where suspended sleeping platforms, anchored by tension cables, overlook a full-height central void illuminated from above by a skylight. The layout evokes a vertical campfire: a communal ground level and four staggered layers of bunks, accessible through retractable ladders. Storage, foldable surfaces, and built-in furniture maximize functionality in a minimal footprint. Constructed with a timber balloon-frame system assembled from prefabricated modules, the structure rests on concrete footings and integrates systems for renewable energy and rainwater collection. The result is a compact, atmospheric refuge that blends landscape, symbolism, and contemporary alpine design.
