It is involved in the landscape, respecting it, trying to be matter like the site.

The project is designed in two parts articulated in the landscape, the inn hanging from the rock and emerging toward the cliff, crouching, low on the ground, and the other volume, for camping, which receives the visitor from the arrival by car.
