A faint light shines in the forests of the European Alps, not a tourist area, but it attracts many visitors because of these unique glowing cabins! Last year, the architectural firm Peter Pichler Architecture, located in Milan, officially completed the YOUNA Nature Resorts project, adding a set of flexible “treehouses” to the Alps.
Each gem-like cottage appears to have emerged from the treetops, with exaggerated gabled roofs that reflect the slender proportions of the surrounding pine trees, complementing each other. In this way, these man-made structures seamlessly blend into the surrounding forest environment.
The concept of YOUNA Nature Resorts is to create “treehouses without trees”. The designer imitated the prototype gable roof of traditional treehouses and referred to the height ratio of actual treehouses and trees to create this house primarily made of wood. This facade structure will further enhance the modular structure, making the overall structure more sturdy.
From the number of floors, outdoor and indoor spaces, to solid or glass walls, the interior of each cabin can be easily reconfigured to create multiple compartments according to the needs of each passenger.
These “tree houses” look like a cluster of glowing lanterns dotted on the slopes of the Alps. During the day, the strong sunlight is filtered to prevent the interior from being directly exposed to the sun. At night, these small houses softly glow among the trees, adding a sense of harmony to the originally quiet and cold forest.
