Modular
A prefabricated wood construction system allows the structure to be modular, cutting down costs and times, while giving flexibility on the interior spaces.

We thought about everything
Our cabin is a complete turnkey solution, from foundations to transport and assembly.
Because we spent a lot of time designing to minimize on-site work and logistics, you can rest easy: the price you get will get you a Mountain Refuge, not an Euro more.
A small space doesn't mean discomfort
In our philosophy, small spaces must not become a swiss knife. Yet we wanted to make sure everything is there.
You won't get a tiny-house kitchen or an uncomfortable bathroom. You'll get a normal kitchen, a normal fridge, a normal bed, a normal bathroom. Everything comes with premium equipment and furniture.
We help the client from the beginning to turnkey
The Mountain Refuge is currently available in Europe and North America. We are currently working for Australia and New Zealand.

Meticulously architected, our bespoke dwellings are designed to make one statement: luxury that dissolves into the natural grandeur. Our curated properties are awakened to the wild human spirit, to a poetic connection between humanity and wilderness, to a sense of our smallness in the presence of nature’s grandness, to respect for all life, to access to the unimaginable beauty for all.

Human Sustainability Report
The way spaces are built and designed can either impact humans’ wellbeing in a good way, or in a bad way. It all occurs unconsciously by some complex interactions between the environment and our nervous system, yet the effects are substantial both in the short and in the long term.
The Human Sustainability Report provides a detailed analysis of this interaction, shedding light on the perceptual qualities of a space and its potential to influence our health and behavior.
