Projet

Titlis: Reinterpreting Height

Engelberg

From housing to schools, from museums to infrastructure: exposed concrete is also part of Marti’s DNA. Discover with #ExposedConcrete a selection of our projects where technical precision meets architectural ambition.

The project consists of three main elements: mountain station, tower and Line II. The new station integrates the existing Rotair cable car infrastructure into a crystalline glass body of exposed concrete and steel. The 70-metre-high transmission tower is expanded with two cross-shaped glass beams housing the restaurant, bar and panoramic terrace. The single-track cable car Line II serves primarily as an evacuation route and for material transport. Extreme working conditions with temperatures dropping to –30°C and wind speeds reaching 200 km/h require special safety measures and alpine rescue training.
