TURRAHERHÖHE - Austria

The Turracherhöhe is a beautiful village located in the Nock Mountains, the western part of the Gurktal Alps. You can go skiing, ice-skating, enjoy the mountains and lakes, have extraordinary mountain bike and hiking experiences.

Before this place became famous for tourism in the 20th century, only people used to live there were farmers, lumberjacks, seasonal miners and of course, stonemasons. There were limestone and dolomite mines in the area. As a consequence, wood and stone have been the major elements of the region’s architecture.

This project consists of 10 chalets that show the engaging harmony of wood and stone. Masso Ash makes the sturdy look impression against the freezing cold of the Turracherhöhe thanks to its bulky structure and rough chiseled surface.
