Indoor Rock Climbing, Brixen, South Tyrol, Italy, 2012 designed by W. Meraner & Lanz + Mutschlechner
Nature and landscape are transported into the building through a transparent façade design; at the same time, the inside remains visible to the outside. The multi-layer facade creates a moiré effect, generating always new impressions for the moving observer and both the users inside as also the viewer outside in a dynamic relationship to the climbing gym provides. -- ArchDaily

Allez UP Rock Climbing Gym, Rue Saint-Patrick, Montreal, QC, Canada, 2013 designed by Smith Vigeant Architectes
The climbing wall formations within the main building actually resemble sugar cliffs, reminding visitors of the original function of the Redpath silos. These pure-white, angular climbing walls offer many different routes for both beginners as well as seasoned climbers. The multi-coloured climbing-holds speckled across the walls add to the dynamic charm of this unique interior space. -- ArchDaily
