Youna Nature Resort

YOUNA Nature Resort is a new hospitality project designed by Peter Pichler Architecture, located in the European Alpine Region. The resort comprises flexible treehouses that blend into the natural environment, featuring an exaggerated gable roof and a timber exoskeleton. The treehouses are encased in a double-layered timber lattice encapsulating the exoskeleton that provides shade during the day while allowing for a soft glow at night, blending seamlessly into the natural surroundings. The treehouses are highly customizable, including the number of floors, indoor/outdoor spaces, and glazed/solid walls. The resort emphasizes sustainability, with an overwhelming use of timber and a small footprint. The treehouses can accommodate two, four, or six guests.
