Climate change is no longer an abstract concept conveyed through scientific data; every person on this planet has now been touched by the effects of our warming planet. Architecture, as has been well-documented, has been a contributing force in many ways — both by relying on materials that pump CO2 into the atmosphere but also by cultivating a widespread reliance on fossil-fuel-intensive systems — like air conditioning, electric lighting and more — due to poor design.

Upon first glance, Avalanche Chalet appears to be an elegant but cozy ski retreat. However, there is more to the design than meets the eye.
