4 notas sobre mountain materials en MÉTODO.
Stone, wood, and metal earn their place in a mountain home through performance, not decoration. In MÉTODO, we make the material palette by asking two questions first: how does this material respond to the altitude climate, and how does it age?
Every material performs differently when climate conditions become extreme. Alpine houses — at elevations above 2,000 meters, with intense UV radiation, wide temperature swings, and hard freeze cycles — expose specification errors within a few years. In MÉTODO, material evaluatio
Mountain climates punish wood in ways coastal or urban environments do not. Freeze-thaw cycles, intense UV at altitude, and low humidity that drops below 20 percent in winter create stresses that eliminate many species before the first decade is out. In MÉTODO we approach wood se
Mountain houses with large temperature swings between day and night — common at elevations above 2,000 meters — can be designed to use the climate as a mechanical ally. Thermal mass in concrete and stone walls is not a trend; it is a physical response to a specific climate condit
