The Hut House located in a small Alpine village built in 95 square meters area, with 6 x 11 meters of volume. Here’s a small and minimalist house which built from local environment materials such as stone, wooden columns and façade pattern. Consist of 3 bedrooms and bath with sauna on top floor with minimal corridor and the ground floor is one space room with kitchen; dinning and living, storage is under the staircase. The level is partly lower so window shelves act as sofa with views toward the mountains. See the floorplan and section for more detail about the interior layout.

Large corner window was positioned toward the sun therefore in winter-sunny days no heating is needed. Extra thermal isolation is put between the wooden cladding – both in exterior and interior, black foil that is put behind the wood absorbs the heat of the sun and transforms it onto the walls. Upper floor is pushed over the ground floor and acts as sun protector in summer when sun is higher. Rain water is collected from the roof and transported through vertical pipes that are covered with wooden masks
