The fourth apartment house designed by OOS for Andermatt Swiss Alps AG, with its striking design, already convinced the competition jury in 2008. AVA impressively combines Swiss chalet architecture with the requirements of modern living.
The project was put out to tender as a timber construction with a high proportion of luxury apartments. It is to blend harmoniously into the dense built environment while meeting the highest standards of comfort and aesthetics. There are also plans for an exclusive spa area on the ground floor to cater to the demands of upmarket tourism.
The architectural vision developed is based on an intensive examination of the existing townscape. The combination of the chalet architectural style with functional interior design creates a contemporary Alpine living experience.
Design elements from the façade are repeated in the interior design. Generous room heights, fireplaces with traditional green tiles and well-thought-out furnishings offer residents an exceptionally pleasant living environment.
Abstract sgraffito patterns, used on the exterior, create a link between local tradition and modernity. The clear materiality of the timber construction runs consistently through the entire building.
