located at the top of the katschberg alpine pass in austria, is matteo thun's edel:weiss residence,
a new landmark in the middle of a transition space. the construction is two twin buildings,
almost identical in form - one inverted and the other upright - each with a wooden lattice structure
wrapping around their exteriors. both circular residential towers measure 20 meters in diameter
each and house 66 units with open views of the natural and unaltered landscape.

It's sitting at the base of a ski resort, how is that natural and unaltered? Look at that second photo, you're telling me the trees naturally grow with gaps like that? Ski lifts occur naturally?
It drives me nuts when designers don't think about their words and their meaning (usually nothing) when they're writing them down.
