Dwelling for a Rock Climber
As Featured in Rock & Ice magazine
unbuilt
The Structure is sited on the vertical face of a gorge wall. The interior may be accessed by a climber entering from the top, sides or bottom, and a small lift is provided for loading supplies and materials. The tension structure is inspired by climbing equipment, as it suspends and braces the body of the house. The shelter's many kinetic parts include a facade that hinges downward to become a deck for taking in the dramatic view.

The interior spaces accomodate sleeping, cooking and eating, climbing in inclement weather, and a small reading area.
