La Marmotta
Architectural and interior photography of La Marmotta in Sauze d’Oulx.
At 2,420 metres in the upper Susa Valley, La Marmotta reinterprets the Alpine refuge as a restaurant, bistro and gathering place. Designed by Ab2Er, the project connects contemporary hospitality with the landscape and materials of the mountains.
Large windows bring the surrounding peaks into the interiors, while reclaimed wood gives floors and tables a tactile warmth. The photographic series explores this relationship between the building and its setting, moving from the organisation of the spaces to the details that define their atmosphere.
Created for La Marmotta with agency Triplesense Reply, the project presents the architecture as part of the experience of being there: a place to pause, eat and meet within the Alpine landscape.
