The basic idea of this project was to visually interweave the living space with its surroundings. In the first step, the most important points of view were identified via google earth. These visual landmarks in this project include the Leopoldkron Castle, the Leopoldskorner pond, the fortress Hohensalzburg and the Untersberg.

The Lone Pine compound is set at the base of the Teton Range in a resort development at the edge of an open valley.

If there’s one thing that you can say about construction projects, it’s that they generate a lot of waste. In 2018, the EPA estimated that it generated 600 million tons.
