Hey everyone, welcome back to Beyond the Mountains Podcast!
Today, we’re diving into the world of architecture— I’m joined by Chris Price, founder of KLIMA Architecture, who’s redefining what it means to build and live in mountain environments.

Chris is an architect, a builder and a mountain lover. His house designs are rooted in being eco-friendly, sustainable, timeless, and with a deep respect for the land.
A core principle in Chris’s work is passive design—creating buildings that work with the environment to naturally regulate temperature, harness solar energy, and minimise the need for artificial heating or cooling.
Think 12-inch thick walls, triple-pane windows, airtight construction, and efficient orientation that makes the most of natural sunlight.
These homes are high-performance, energy-efficient shelters built for a changing climate.
From the TreeHaus to the CrestHaus to his latest project, the PowdrHaus, Chris is showing us what’s possible when design and the environment meet in high-altitude environments
We talk about what it means to build with nature instead of against it, and how thoughtful design can dramatically reduce our environmental footprint without sacrificing comfort or style.
Chris also opens up about life beyond the drawing board—raising a family, snowboarding and skinning up the mountain before sunrise, mountain biking and BBQ's with his mates
And of course, we end with the three big questions I ask every guest: What have the mountains taught you? How do they make you feel? And when have you had to go beyond?
So whether you're a design nerd, a climate-conscious homeowner, or someone curious about building a better future—this conversation is for you.
As a bonus episode, Chris agreed to take the Beyond the Mountains questionnaire to reveal HIS true mountain character.
You can find that after this inspiring conversation.
