Timber and granite - proposal concept

The relationship between granite and timber was identified as a key theme early in the project explorations, and has become a vital part of the proposal.



The heritage of the stonecutters is reinforced through different granite strata - drystone walls, granite paving, cuts in the rock and monolithic boulders highlight the local skills of the area and the permanent quality of the landscape.

Light timber inserts with a stage-like quality sit delicately within this granite landscape, and provide inhabited warm spaces for the winter.

Badis is identified as the epitome of summer and tourism, and is replaced by a Folkets Hus, a year-round symbol of local identity.
