Description
Heinz Julen Loft is, without doubt, one of the most spectacular properties in Zermatt! A huge 300 sq m Manhattan style loft set in a wooden chalet in the Swiss Alps; it combines acres of glass, steel, textured concrete and wood in a unique symphony of fusion, architecture created by the local ‘star designer’ Heinz Julen. Once a private home, the Heinz Julen Loft is now available as a truly unique holiday rental property.
The Loft has been selected by the London Times newspaper, twice now, as one of 20 coolest chalets in the Alps!
Access is a through a tunnel in the centre of Zermatt and an elevator for which you will have a personal key code. The elevator brings you high up to the terrace of the Omnia Hotel, from where it is a 2 minute walk to the chalet. The village end of the lift delivers you to the heart of Zermatt, in the main street close to the church.
In the main living area there are 2 double bedrooms (with Austrian twin beds) both with en-suite bathrooms. The master bedroom is ‘hidden’ on the top floor, which you access through a stairwell behind the breakfast table. It has a king size bed, an en-suite bathroom and a private jacuzzi bath
The sense of space, light and closeness to nature that the Loft provides is unparalleled: there are no barriers between the nature outside and the home space inside – all is fluid and free. On the two sides overlooking Zermatt, the walls consist of floor to ceiling glass, with French windows 6 metres high leading to a large terrace. (There is a white electric exterior curtain that can wrap itself around all that glass if need be). The ceiling is supported by seven columns, while the glass walls have an inset fireplace and three alcoves.
The main loft living area has a suspended and illuminated table which can be raised and lowered from coffee table, to dining table, to ceiling height; the latter creating a large party space!
In one corner you can play on a baby grand Steinway piano, while in another you can sink into a large sofa and gaze simultaneously at the stunning view over Zermatt and at the crackling fireplace set into the glass wall.
Around you: two desks, jack-in-the-box armchairs, a wall of art, and a signature Heinz Julen chandelier. In fact, all the sought-after furniture in the Loft is designed by Heinz. Both levels of the Loft are served by a private lift (elevator).
Amazing, stylish and jaw dropping, the Heinz Julen Loft vies with the Heinz Julen Penthouse for the prize of Zermatt’s most original property!
