Architect Piero Ceratti shared with us his concept design, titled ‘Eagle Nest Hut’, for a mountain hut/shelter powered by wind turbines. This alpine hut can be installed in very extreme sites while minimizing the point of contact with the rocky ground. More images and architects’ description after the break.
The main structure consists of four wooden arcs anchored to the rock with eight steel base plates. The secondary structure is realized with four couples of L wooden beams fixed to the four arcs. The interior shell is assembled with pre-formed wooden insulated panels which are 20cm thick. All exterior surfaces are covered with a red metal seam standing.
