Mountain huts , used by climbers to develop up acclivity into multi - day trips , are useful in the extreme point — everything has to either be fly up by whirlybird , or carried over uncongenial terrain on someone ’s back .
So it ’s unusual to see a hut that really looks good . For example , the newGouter refugeon Mont Blanc , Europe ’s high great deal , seem like an alien spaceship designed by a Bond scoundrel . But you ca n’t say the same for this ( much smaller ) refuge high in the Slovenian mountains .
project by Harvard scholar during an architecture workshop , it practice a assortment of trash fiber , concrete panels and three-fold - glazing to hold the mountain weather condition . It was construct off - situation , and enthral by chopper to the final position in three slice .
within , it ’s still starkly useful , but the floor - to - ceiling window and forest pane make it look like a sumptuousness ski lodge . Most sight refuges I ’ve spent time in are drear and basically rotting ; it would be squeamish to live nature in a little comfort ( or withouthanging off a drop-off , for that matter ) .
