A difficult compromise: to build an industrial building in a high mountain landscape.

It was a meadow located at the low level of the valley next to the river and surrounded by high mountains and small scattered buildings.

The building is intended to be a trace of the landscape.

The definition of the section will shape the image of the whole. It will be a dry construction. It will have two different facades: the main one, with pedestrian access, will face the road; the rear one, facing the river, will be the place where the unloading docks and the parking of industrial vehicles will be located.
