CDescription

History

Antoine was designed by Bureau A. Construction completed 2014. The structure was commissioned by the Verbier 3d Foundation for artist residencies. It takes its name from Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz's novel 'Derborence'. The design references the Swiss tradition of hidden military bunkers.

Architecture

The building employs a Mimetic style. Its exterior is a concrete shell. This shell is molded to resemble a large boulder. Construction utilizes wood, concrete, cement, and steel rebar. Antoine is recognized as a unique structure-cum-sculpture.

Setting

Antoine sits within a high-altitude sculpture park. It rests on a boulder-strewn slope in the Swiss Alps. The structure is along a path between La Chaux and Ruinettes in Bagnes, Switzerland. It blends into the precarious, mountainous landscape. Here, the alpine light shifts across its rock-like form.
