The project approaches reconstruction as an opportunity to reconcile preservation and contemporary needs, transforming debris into a resource. The existing structures are entirely dismantled, with reusable materials -particularly local stone- carefully selected and incorporated into new structural and foundation cores, housing key functions such as the staircase, fireplace, and service spaces. Resting upon these solid stone elements, a new lightweight and autonomous timber structure defines the contemporary identity of the hut. The process of disassembly and recomposition thus becomes not only a sustainable construction strategy, but also a gesture of continuity and remembrance.
porphyritic and metamorphic stone from the Lagorai range, recovered from the walls of the former hut, is reused as raw material for the new mixed concrete structures, transforming debris into a resource and preserving the memory of the place.
The hut is defined by the use of a limited palette of materials, reinterpreting traditional alpine architecture through a contemporary approach and reinforcing a strong sense of identity and belonging to the site. The exterior envelope is clad in charred larch panels, a technique that enhances the wood’s durability, reduces maintenance, and improves resistance to weathering. The remaining volumes are shaped by concrete and stone recovered from the demolition of the former hut, while the wooden shingle roof recalls local building traditions. Interior spaces are finished in exposed natural wood, providing coherence, uniformity, and a warm atmosphere.
