The new design of the Refuge de Barroude aims to harmoniously integrate with its mountainous landscape, emphasizing respect for local ecology and providing safety for hikers.
In its architecture, Snøhetta employs stone, wood, and aluminum, creating a soft contrast to the natural surroundings while minimizing environmental impact through careful site selection.
The project's essence revolves around two key concepts: 'Terrier' for warmth and security, and 'Cairn' symbolizing its significance as a destination crafted from natural materials.
Functionally, the Refuge is divided into public and private areas, ensuring both communal space for hikers and privacy for staff, balancing accessibility with shelter.
