Precision at Altitude

1

Every element earns its place

Sixteen iterations of the wayfinding system precede every sign installed in the Engadin valley.

2

White space is the luxury

Forty percent of lobby surface area remains intentionally unadorned — glacier-white stone, nothing more.

3

One accent, never two

Swiss-flag red appears exactly once: the reservation confirmation. Every other element defers to quiet neutrality.

4

Typography carries the weight

Inter at fourteen on a twenty-four baseline. No decorative faces. The grid is the identity.
