the threshold of the woods
Tuckett hut cable car

The woods guard the threshold.

At Vallesinella, where the fir trees grow dense, stands the starting point of the cable lift that supplies the Tuckett mountain hut. A roof that folds like an ancient one, to receive the load rising toward the altitude, easing the weight the mountain demands.

A minimal architectural gesture, conceived to last through time and through the silence of the woods.

Further up, the woods give way to rock.

The arrival station settles among the walls of the Brenta like a shelter within the shelter, small before the immensity that surrounds it. It does not compete with the mountain: it observes it, follows it, accepts its scale.

An architecture that serves, in silence, those who live at altitude.
