The Mountain Lodge Architecture. These constructions were designed by the Chilean architect Max Núñez, whose objective was to build a light place, small in size and low in height, to raise awareness of the territory and generate the minimum impact. For this reason, they were assembled in a 100% prefabricated and modular way. Their composition allows them to be “reversible” constructions, that is to say that in the future they will be easy to dismantle and transport to be reused in other places. The lodge and Mountain Lodges are composed of different modules of bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms and toilets, which are assembled to form different configurations depending on the site and its requirements #uyuni #bolivia #explore #bespoke #travel #luxury
