The Architect in the Right Place

GION A. CAMINADA CREATES RESONANCE WITH HIS MINIMALIST STYLE

From the beginning, the owners envisioned architecture as a central element in the realization of Hotel Maistra 160. The design was entrusted to renowned architect Gion A. Caminada, whose minimalist approach perfectly aligned with this vision. Caminada, who served as a tenured professor of architecture and design at ETH Zurich until January 2023, was the perfect choice to bring the project to life.

For Caminada, architecture is more than just construction – it is an integral part of our culture.
