Located 2667 meters above sea level, this structure offers a protective shell on the top of a mountain range. The structure is made of fiberglass and bends with the [natural slope of the mountain range](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-cadree-perche), creating the impression that the structure will roll over the cliff. The structure offers a space where humans and connect with the natural environment safely. The cabin's interior is purposefully clad in wood to offer a contrasting space - one that is soft and warm - from the harsh exterior environment. The cabin's focal point is the large window, which provides an unobstructed view of the surrounding mountainscape.
