VALSSKI HUT

Team: Jesper Wallgren, Pamela Nunez Wallgren, Katre Laura, Sofie Odby, Mayra Alves Zanin, Elias FribergLocation: Vals, Switzerland

It all started with an invitation to visit the Truffer quarry in Vals. We were shown the potential of the beautiful Vals Quartzite and the advanced manufacturing techniques that enabled Truffer to shape the stone in different ways.

During the visit in Vals we got to experience the famous Therme Spa by Peter Zumthor, all made of the local Vals Quartzite and shaped in the Truffer quarry. We also saw the plans for the new skyscraper by Morphosis and the 7132 hotel with rooms by Tadao Ando, Kengo Kuma, Peter Zumpthor and Thom Mayne.

This small mountain village, with so much potential, made us start thinking about what we wanted to contribute. What we thought would make a visit to Vals even more memorable. That became the starting point of this project.
