Architecture Reflecting the rockslide

Architecture Reflecting the rockslide

An environmentally sensitive yet bold architectural concept, rocksresort was honored by Wallpaper magazine...

in 2010 as the Best New Ski Resort. Several of the 11 structures are arranged around a central square at the bottom of a ski slope, while others nestle up to the edge of a nearby forest. Architects Domenig & Domenig have created a multiuse complex that defies categorization. The outbuildings contain varied guestroom- and apartment-style arrangements, from 2-bedroom suites to 10-bed apartments.

Interior design Calming the mind and spirit

Interiors reflect the cubic format of the buildings and feature lighter materials to contrast with the landscape.

Bedrooms boast untreated, light-finished wood, while design classics by Cassina set the tone. Extravagant gilded pendant lamps by Catellani & Smith and textiles in natural shades create warmth. The baths with mini-spas are all fitted with steam bath, rainforest shower, and taps by Dornbracht. The overall effect is both primitive and progressive, a ski-land getaway that calms the mind and spirit.
