MountainTopSnug is nestled in a forest on the hillside of Snug.The resort consists of 2 interconnected yet independent building blocks which are 200㎡and 100㎡ respectively accommodating 6~8 guests.The design of the house adapts to the terrain's constraints, with the 2 structures descending from west to east.The first cantilevered structure sits towards the uppermost part of the site.The second structure is nestled beside the lower rock, seamlessly integrating the natural scenery.Sunlight from the north penetrates the interior of the structures and reflects beautifully off the surrounding rocks.
