Cozy Wooden Alpine Chalets

Network of Architecture (NOA) Designs Shelters on the Seiser Alm Slopes

— December 10, 2018 — Art & Design
These incredibly cozy alpine chalets serve as "an expansion of the Zallinger resort in northern Italy." Designed by Network of Architecture, the structures see a homey, warm and comfort-inducing aesthetic — a vibe that is especially crucial and much-needed in high-altitude environments.

Located on the Seiser Alm ski trails, there is some sort of historic value to the site. This is a quality that Network of Architecture chooses to explore, embrace and build upon. As a result, the architecture firm attempt to "return to the roots of the place" through design. In total, the project produces seven cozy Alpine chalets and a wellness area. In addition, NOA completed some renovations for the existing hotel to match the contemporary aesthetic of the extensions.
