Comba di Vertosan is a breathtaking location in the Aosta Valley region of Italy, where the mountain lodge called Bivacco Bredy has been designed by Claudio Araya, Natalia Kogia, Iga Majorek and Maria Valese, a young team of architects who attended the latest edition of YACademy’s course in Architecture for Landscape.
They conceived of a mountain lodge perfectly integrated with the surrounding landscape, in full compliance with today’s sustainable and ecological standards within the field of architecture: in particular, the structure can be adapted to the natural profile of the intervention site and oriented in order to best exploit the natural light.
In addition, on the roof, a system of solar panels even allows a self-generated electricity supply, while the interior is comfortable and well-designed to meet any needs or expectations of the visitors stopping at the bivouac – from socializing opportunities to moments of rest and relaxation.
The bivouac is named for Claudio Brédy, a local alpinist who died in 2017 during a hiking activity on the same mountain.
