The two architects of the studio Gnocchi+Danesi Architects have reinterpreted the traditional idea of shelter by designing and realizing The Mountain Refuge. 

It is a small, modular, prefabricated cabin with a simple, minimalist shape reminiscent of huts. The basic structure is made up of two modules that form a 24 square meter dwelling, but the architects added the possibility of incorporating an additional 12 square meters structure, reaching a total surface area of 36 square meters. 

The modular nature of The Mountain Refuge allows it to be built anywhere and on any surface, however, although the cabin does not need foundations, the architects specified that in the most extreme places it is recommended to place the structure on a concrete slab. 

Outside, the hut is completely covered with a layer of black pine cement, which not only gives it a mysterious, dark air, but also makes the structure waterproof; inside, on the other hand, the choice of leaving the plywood exposed immediately transforms The Mountain Refuge into a warm and welcoming place. The pride and joy of the project is the huge window that allows you to live in contact with nature while remaining safe both during the day and at night.
