The small ensemble of vicarage, mortuary chapel and village square forms the new spatial centre of Mathon, a hamlet of Ischgl. The two new buildings – the solid-timber vicarage clad in larch shingles and the sculptural exposed-concrete volume of the mortuary chapel – are slightly offset from one another at the edges of the square and deliberately relate to each other and to their Alpine setting in terms of positioning, height and roof form.
