Blok is a rustic climbers' retreat, blending heated interiors with sheltered outdoor spaces for a full nature experience. Its asymmetrical grey stucco form evokes a climbing block, with irregular openings resembling holds. The ground floor features covered climbing walls, a spa, and intimate forest-facing bedrooms. Upstairs, a terrace invites cooking and dining with scenic views, while a mezzanine above the kitchen accommodates even more guests. Wood-clad interiors create warmth and continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces, contrasting beautifully with the building’s raw, mineral exterior.
