Architectural and interior design features

• Feature 1 – New life in the second-oldest house
  In Andermatt (UR), the renowned Tuckey Design Studio has breathed new life into the historic «Nossenhaus», dating from 1620. With great sensitivity to local building traditions and the existing historic fabric, the architects transformed the village’s second-oldest building into a cosy, modern holiday home. The result is a successful interplay of traditional craftsmanship, Alpine warmth and contemporary living comfort.
• Feature 2 – Light wood and modern clarity in the Grisons mountains
  In Morissen (GR), a modern timber house has been created that perfectly combines a bright aesthetic with Alpine comfort. Large panoramic windows bring the mountain landscape directly into the living space, while natural wooden surfaces, flowing transitions and a pared-back design language create a light-filled, welcoming atmosphere. A contemporary retreat in the Grisons that shows exemplary how modern timber construction can feel timeless and inviting.
• Feature 3 – Scandinavian warmth in cedar wood
  Designed by architect Daniel Berg, the «Cedar Wood House» on a peninsula in Sweden blends harmoniously into the snow-covered natural landscape of heathland and forests. Nestled among pine trees, the sustainable property is defined by fine cedar wood and natural stone. A stylish architectural masterpiece that radiates an enchanting Scandinavian winter mood through timeless materials, passive light management and cosy interiors.
