A strong net allows courageous visitors to lay down in the void.  Image Courtesy © Martin Duplantier Architectes

The upper one connects the two sides, while the lower one is for experiencing a moment “in the air”. 03. The “water mirror” is made of 2cm of water on black stone. The irregular set of stones gives a feeling of winding path in the mountains, when one is attracted by the great panorama. Every 7 minutes, the water disappears and reappears through spray nozzles, creating a cloud in the middle of the mountains. This cloud progressively lands on the stones, transformed into a veneer of still water.

These pavilions are organized in three levels : from the 360° panorama on the roof, to the café in the middle, down to the exclusive VIP suite in the lower level. The latter being the visitor’s only means to enjoy a unique night in the middle of this magical landscape.
