Backstage Luxury Chalet (2013)

Backstage Luxury Chalet

The Backstage Luxury Chalet was built in 2014. The basis of this project was a wooden house which was first built in the 1940’s.

This 3 storey building had the handicap that its view south, toward the Matterhorn, was obstructed by another house in the 1970’s.

The artist’s concept was to cut open the existing roof and expand the whole building by constructing concrete additions on the east and west side. This concrete extension spans the top 2 floors. It was on this expansion as well as the top two floors of the existing building that chalet was created.

The higher you climb in the project, the freer the view of the Matterhorn is.

Since a perfect 360 degree view is always guaranteed from the rooftop Heinz decided to use the, already existing for the INTO Hotel, plans for a hydraulically lifted whirlpool in this chalet.

So at the push of a button the rooftop opens and the whirlpool ascends above the chalet.

The project is a great satisfaction for the architects and artist! In the past project of the INTO Hotel the partners where not convinced that such a whirlpool would work and they dismantled it much to the artist’s disappointment.

But the pool functions and the Backstage Luxury Chalet is let through the Backstage Hotel to a high end level of guests.

The 380 m2 unit includes in addition to a large living-dining area and whirlpool, 5 double bedrooms, sauna and a private cinema/games room.

On ground level are equipment rooms, ski room and staff accommodation.
