A low modern house at dusk, warm light spilling through full-height glass onto a still pool and an outdoor seating terrace

SEThe approach1,412 m

The lights are on
before you arrive.

Seven rooms cut into a slope at fourteen hundred metres. There is no lobby and no front desk. The door is open, the fire is lit, and someone has left the kettle warm. Everything after that is weather.

A long room with a raw concrete ceiling and a wall of glass running its full length, hills fading into mist outside

WThe valley1,408 m

One room, sixty metres long

The main room runs the length of the ridge behind a single wall of glass. In the morning it holds the whole valley. By four in the afternoon the cloud is usually level with the floor.

WThe far ridge1,404 m

Seven rooms, no two alike

They share a ceiling height and a floor and nothing else. Four face the valley, two face the rock, and one has the whole east end to itself.

A bedroom enclosed by floor-to-ceiling glass, opening onto a lake and a far ridge of mountains

An unlit room with tall black window frames, the trees outside the only bright thing in the frame

The window is not a picture

Nothing in this room has moved since it was built. Everything you can see from it has moved twice today.

A glazed corridor running tight against a mossy rock face, timber wall on the opposite side

EThe rock face1,399 m

The corridor is cut hard against the rock. Moss holds that wall all year, and the light reaching it has bounced twice on the way. It is the coldest and the quietest part of the building.

The east side never sees the sun

SWThe pines1,395 m

Afternoons are for doing nothing

The water is held at thirty-six degrees all year, because the air out here rarely climbs above eighteen. The hearth is lit at five whether or not anybody asks for it.

A pool and timber deck opening straight into a lounge with a stone fireplace

A living room with a pale wood floor and glass walls on two sides, looking into dense forest

Pines standing in dense mountain fog, almost monochrome blue-grey

Fog is the fourth season

It comes up the valley most afternoons between October and March and takes about twenty minutes to swallow the ridge. Nobody here counts that as bad weather.
