The project offered a unique opportunity for the reinstatement of a modern, environmentally harmonised recreational development whilst maintaining the heritage of miner’s tradition by emphasising elements of the traditional mining infrastructure (such as mining, shafts and carts).

The optimal placement of dwellings to each embrace their own attraction and mountain views was an integral part of the project brief.

Each dwelling is unique in its design for its specific place, materiality and environmental regard has also been sensitively considered.

The three predominant materials of timber, stone and glass have been utilised throughout to reflect and enhance the surrounding landscape, ensuring maximum appreciation for all.
