The Mountain Refuge, a cozy tiny cabin

The Mountain Refuge is a cozy tiny cabin founded by the two Italian architects Massimo Gnocchi and Paolo Danesi. The project acts as a contemporary interpretation of old traditional mountain refuges, bringing in architectural character and spatial quality. The Refuge aims to finding balance between sustainability and design, yet it does not want to become a design item, nor a technological system. The Mountain Refuge is inspired by traditional archetypes, evoked through contemporary principles.
A space in which human’s origins, his connection with nature and history can be relived. The cabin they propose is a wooden structure composed by two modules, for a total size of about 25 square meters. Optionally, an additional module of 12.5 square meters can be added, reaching a total size of up to 37 square meters. The standard 2-module overall dimensions are 7.45 x 4.75 meters. Finishes are made using plywood. Exterior plywood will be coated with black pine tar, giving the black-ish warm look and water-proofing.
