Situated in the midst of nature or within the urban landscape, they function as devices that organize the gaze and establish a direct relationship between the body and the territory. Along this boundary between observer and landscape, viewpoints can take on various configurations, from subtle gestures to monumental structures, always in response to their context. Regardless of scale, they are—to some extent—attempts to domesticate vastness: precise frames that render legible what might otherwise feel overwhelming without mediation.

Dubbed the Vels Hotel, the project is located on the banks of the Vishera River and adjacent to the River Wels. The hotel emerges from the cave and terraces down to the water. Intimately linked to the landscape, the design was made to be a synthesis of the Ural mountains, cultural history and modern architecture.
