#repost • @elenberg_fraser 27/42 0312_Huski For our second day at the snow we’re exploring Huski, a unique snowflake in Australian alpine accommodation. Huski was designed to stand in differentiation to the clichéd alpine architecture found in Australia’s skifields. Situated in Falls Creek, we wanted to design a building that not only responded to, but became a part of the natural landscape: a building that the snow could sit into. The wedged shape site lent itself to a radiating floorplan – the form evokes the European sauna with timber boxes arrayed across the façade, but we didn’t just explore European alpine architecture. Through months of gruelling and arduous research skiing slopes across the world, Huski was born an international design hotel featuring the amenity of a North American condo hotel with the personal touches of a European Pensionne. With the tourism concept of ‘togethering’ in mind, where families holiday in larger groups with other families or their extended family, we designed several typologies for the 14 apartments in Huski – studios, two, three and four bedroom penthouses. The floorplan configuration caters for various combinations of guest groups, who are able to book out single or adjacent apartments.
