«Lux Guyer»

Mountain House «Voa Crapera» Lenzerheide 2020

The mountain house «Voa Crapera» in the Lenzerheide was built in 1938 by the architect Lux Guyer. Lux Guyer was the first independent female architect in Switzerland. In the project «Voa Crapera» Lux Guyer combines excitingly, her own handwriting with the alpine environment and the rural mountain house building tradition. With great care, Lux Guyer developed atmospheric spatial qualities, through light, choice of materials, and furnishing. Textiles have always played an important role in Lux Guyer's projects. Textiles contribute to the atmosphere and movement in a room.

Annette Douglas was given the nice task of designing the textiles for the two Lux Guyer objects «Schiedhalde» 2014 and the mountain house «Voa Crapera» 2020. Lux Guyer's work is touching. Her refreshing collage technique, her playful use of material, form, and color in the interior, and her love for craftsmanship.

A beautiful task to further develop this mountain house by Lux Guyer, built in 1938, with the privat owner and Sven Richter from Richter Tobler Architects, into the present day.
