Reiulf Ramstad Arkitekter (@reiulframstadarkitekter) has completed Hotel 48°Nord (@hotel48nord) in Breitenbach, Alsace, eastern France. Perched on a hillside, the architecture of the ecotourism retreat is inspired by Scandinavian design. 14 hytte-like cabins are built on stilts, designed to be removable, so that the landscape remains preserved.
