Stettiner Hütte

The massive side wall contains the entrance to the chalet, protected from weather and avalanches, and simultaneously creates on the terrace base a south-west-facing open space for arrivals and relaxation. The ground floor contains not just the guestrooms but also the access and distribution area, the kitchen and the related ancillary areas. From the kitchen there is direct access to both the adjacent existing building and cellar.

On the first floor of the front section, a central corridor leads to the various bedrooms and those in the attic area. In the western half of the chalet, a sleeping gallery over the passageway is assigned to each room, enabling maximum utilisation of space in the folded roof in addition to the bunk beds. The separate leaseholder area as well as the winter storage facility with its own access and two-way escape route are housed under the massive protective hoop.

In the restaurant area, a solid wood-burning stove (if applicable with additional gas operation) is proposed for ensuring sustained, pleasant warmth and at the same time marking the centre of the large bar area. This stove continues until deep in the night to heat the surrounding usages, layered like an onion, right up to the first floor.
