'working together from the beginning is a way to see the world through someone else's eyes, to establish shared goals, to unearth opportunities, and ultimately, to offer new outcomes,' delk tells designboom.
the 150 year-old art nouveau icon is scheduled to open by the end of may after over 15 years of construction.
the interior design juxtaposes existing historical features of the building with clean, contemporary lines.
the house is designed to resemble a large piece of a tree trunk.
I don\’t see what is either ecologically sound or \’ultimate\’ about this design. It\’s nice looking but ,000 USD for an insulated box under 100 square feet with nothing but two beds seems a bit steep. A simple well insulated A-frame in such beautiful surroundings would work as well and use more off the shelf materials, saving costs and utilizing what we already have rather than custom cutting everything creating more waste. And going in and out for the bathroom and food wastes energy by constantly going in and out. It looks nice for the skiers, maybe curves just feel more \’eco\’.
I watched much of the good will and enthusiasm in \’eco\’ design fall by the wayside in the 60\’s and 70\’s with designs that really did nothing to help the environment and often were deficient in many ways. Talk to people that built geodesic domes, for example. They look cool and somehow modern but often leaked because they had so many seams and were loud inside without a lot of sound absorbing materials. Even the original author of the Domebooks finally went back to simple, well insulated conventional structures using materials easily obtained.
I fear this will happen all over again.
The Bathroom can be done easily in an equal outdoor-manner with the DUTCHTUB … check http://www.doubledutch.ch for further details about that. It’s wood-fuelled and very cool for spots like this.
How did you make the curved wood?
Bathroom and Restaurant are in a House nearby.
Is it never daylight in Switzerland?
