The Alpine Association refuge: The “Stripsenjochhaus” in the Kaiser mountain region.
Location Stripsenjochhaus 1, 6341 Ebbs
Builder Austrian Alpine Association, Kufstein
Execution Malerei Roland Kolm, Ebbs
The object is a refuge that belongs to the Kupstein section of the Alpine Association, the “Stripsenjochhaus” in the Kaiser mountain region.
The hut was built in 1901, and sits at 1598 meters above sea level. Ever since then, it has offered hikers, mountaineers and climbers the chance to rest, relax and stay overnight, in the months between May and October.
The current facade design took the surroundings and landscape into account, with a subtle color selection. Despite this, the contractors undertaking the work still managed to make the object recognizable from afar as a refuge, with simple graphic design elements on the window shutters and external frames.
