Tourist village – Gressoney‑Saint‑Jean (Italy)

Public tourism complex built with Block‑House system: modular timber chalets seamlessly integrated into the Alps

In 2009 La Foca House delivered a tourist village in Gressoney‑Saint‑Jean for public hospitality. The single‑storey chalets use stacked laminated logs (Block‑House System) to provide thermal comfort, structural strength and authentic Alpine aesthetics.

Main features:

• Type: public mountain tourism facility
• Construction system: Block‑House with tongue‑and‑groove joints
• Pitched roofs covered with local stone slates
• Covered porches and timber shutters in traditional style
• High thermal mass and natural insulation for harsh climates
• Fast assembly on mountain sites with low environmental impact

The project blends Valdostan building tradition with modern prefabrication, creating a sustainable, welcoming Alpine hub.
