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.
