When the snow mees the horizon is a proposal by HW Studio developed in 2024. It is located in Susitna North United States in a mountain setting. Its scale is small with a surface of 217 sqm. Key materials are stone and wood. BS arq collaborated as visualizer. Concepts such as fragmentation modulation nature section topography usable roof and viewpoint are explored.

Among the mountains cradling the sky, where the pines raise their silhouette towards eternity, emerges an architecture that awakens with the sun and retreats with the night. From the very earth, amidst its folds and whispers, arises this new form, sculpted by time and humans. Like the ancestral dwellings of the indigenous peoples of Alaska, these constructions bury themselves in the winter whiteness, protected by the blanket of snow that embraces them. But here, the stone rises as a witness to history, a living memory of the earth that sustains it. Inside, the wood whispers forgotten stories, an echo of ancient times intertwined with the present. The fire dances in the fireplace, reminding the traveler that, though the landscape may be icy, there will always be a warm home awaiting their arrival. And in that magical moment where the snow meets the horizon, where the sky and the earth merge in a silent embrace, these structures become silent witnesses to the ephemeral beauty and the eternity of the moment. Thus, amidst this dreamlike landscape, emerges an architecture that converses with nature, that merges with the silence of the mountains, and that invites the soul to find refuge in the eternity of the moment. May this vision inspire the pilgrim who ventures in search of hidden beauty in the most remote corners of the world, reminding them that, amidst the grandeur and vastness of the universe, there will always be a sanctuary where peace and harmony can be found.
