Project Monolith

The Monolith is an exercise in structural restraint. Carved directly into the granite face of the Grisons, the structure acts as a permanent anchor in an ever-shifting landscape.

The primary volume is a single, continuous pour of high-performance concrete, treated with a local aggregate to match the surrounding stone. Inside, the spaces are defined by the absence of light, save for a single vertical aperture that tracks the sun's path across the ceiling.

This project serves as a secure repository for physical architectural records, requiring a stable thermal mass and absolute protection from the elements. The transition between the exterior mountain path and the internal sanctuary is a 50-meter tunnel of cold, unlit steel.
