The design is based on integration into the mountains and nature. The architectural bulk is tucked below the piste itself, which terminates 12 meters above the access road. The Ski Resort Service Center opens out to the same access road, welcoming visitors, and keeping support spaces out of the skiers’ viewpoint. Skiers can thus focus while enjoying views out to nature. There are four overarching design principles: 1. Continuation of the mountain ridges, with diminishing massing 2. Sense of speed 3. A multi-dimensional extension of architectural programming 4. The skiers’ varying line of sight
