The curve as a starting point
“What attracts me is the free, sensual curve. The curve I find in the mountains of my country, in the winding course of its rivers, in the waves of the sea, in the body of the woman I love.” — Oscar Niemeyer
— Citation d’Oscar Neimeyer
Nothing could better express the spirit of this project than the curve. Inspired from the outset by the protective, organic shape of an igloo, this sanctuary in the heart of the Alps moves beyond the straight line to create an enveloping, fluid and sensory world.
A sensory journey
The access corridor becomes a transition in its own right. Accented with mineral references, it gradually guides visitors from the natural, raw world of pebbles into the refined sanctuary revealed beyond.Each space is conceived as an experience: a sequence of sensations, textures and curves in which the interior architecture extends the spirit of the Alpine landscape to create a distinctive, immersive place of well-being.
An interior landscape
The spaces unfold through curves and domes, creating a soft, immersive architecture. Iridescent glass mosaic interacts with walls shimmering with pearlescent reflections, while material, light and volume combine to create an atmosphere that is both organic and sophisticated.
"Creating spaces where every detail finds its natural place."
