Campfires have the power of connecting us to something fundamentally human: They make us sit together and tell each other stories.
The building is a black stained CLT construction, that folds around a fireplace creating a small atrium. As soon as the fire is lit and the hunters gather around the flames, shadows start dancing on the walls behind them.
Koia is designed as a sustainable alternative to the massive development of traditional holiday houses that currently is threatening the wildlife and natural diversity of the alpine wilderness.
