The competition task was to design the mountain shelter with the surroundings including the campsite under the peak Lubań, in the Beskidy range. One of the aims of the competition was to propose a model project, which would define new aesthetics, universal construction solutions, and pro-ecological features of the future shelters. Polish mountain shelters are maintained by the Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society. Most of the buildings are old wooden constructions with a lot of traditional carpentry details. New shelters, so far, most often follow the previous centuries' patterns and aesthetics.
In 1937 the Tatra Skier’s Association initiated building the first shelter in this location. The wooden part of the building burned during the war in 1944. The masonry basement of stone and bricks remained to turn into ruin during the following years.
The competition proposal for the new shelter consists of three buildings: the main shelter building and two auxiliary buildings, one serving the shelter and one serving the campsite. Placed close to each other in a setting inspired by isolated monastic complexes, the buildings form a space ‘in between’  where a non-disturbing driveway and a maintenance/delivery square were designed.
The main building has been located further north to the previous shelter to use the peak as a viewing point and recreational area. On the peak, in front of the building, a 15-meter long minimal wooden bench was placed, overlooking the valley and Tatra mountains.
The competition ‘model building’ idea is reflected in the modest form, simple construction, and sober standardized interior design. The concrete basement with a finishing layer of cast-in-situ concrete is topped with the glue-laminated wooden construction cladded with horizontal dark-grey spruce planks. Bare concrete, wood, and stone (retrieved from the old building and used for the retaining walls) are the main project materials. The design meant to expose the construction elements and construction materials' textures and skip finishing layers when only possible.
The shelter has been deliberately designed as a refuge and not as a hotel. It consists of twelve unified guest rooms with minimalist custom-designed wooden furniture. The heart of the building is the canteen situated on the ground level and divided by the sliding doors into two parts: the main room with the terrace and the views over the valley and the multipurpose smaller space with the view over the trees and the field at the back, where the Lubań viewing tower stands.
