This amazing survival retreat is set amongst the snow-capped peaks of the Alps. Called “New Refuge Gervasutti”, the “sky high” retreat has been designed by the Italian firm LEAPfactory, a company that specializes in the construction of the modular buildings for extreme environments. The modular design allowed LEAPfactory to prefabricate sections of the structure, which were then helicoptered to the site and assembled in a matter of hours. The modular approach allows LEAPfactory to customize each retreat specifically to the needs of the client and the location.” – Niall
