Atüln’s shape was defined by the beautiful view over grassy plains and Krkonoše mountain ridge and by the rough alpine weather. It was designed as an upgrade of the typical old mountain hut whose high-pitched roof stand up to local snow conditions, but its interior doesn‘t offer any connection to the outside world. In this new hut, on the other hand, the view becomes a dominant feature. Opposite to the entrance, a beautiful view through the glazed south-west gable wall opens up. The whole interior is made of timber boards, referring to traditional architecture.

Outer load-bearing structure made of squared timber lifts the hut up to almost two meters above the ground which makes it accessible even in winter months. More visitors can hide under the hut as well. Facade made of burnt timber resists water and wind. Upstairs, in front of the entrance, there is a terrace made of timber grating which enables the snow and dirt to fall through. The door is almost hidden in the timber wall. The hut can be divided into two modules which fit a regular truck and weigh under a ton.
