Skeletal Ski Resorts

The RYRA Studio Ski Chalet Blends into the Landscape with a White Design

— April 28, 2016 — Art & Design
RYRA Studio recently put together an ultra modern ski resort with the aesthetic that mirrors the landscape and naturally blends in thanks to the use of a white building materials. The chalet is located in Iran and features a skeletal sculptural design that is cubic and rendered nearly invisible during the snowy season.

The ski resort replicates the aesthetic of rock with a modular levels made from rock that mirrors the mountains surrounding the area. The unit is built using glass and carved white rock that looks like ice against the snowy backdrop and blue sky. This gives the tiered structure an architectural shape that mirrors the mountains and seems as though it is seamlessly a part of the landscape.

Guests can stay inside and have their skiing needs taken care of, while enjoying the modern look of the space.
