為了給業主打造一個獨特的家,Mimran 和 Kéré 與瑞士建筑師 Chaletbau Matti 和室內設計工作室 Muza Lab 以及數十位藝術家、建筑師和設計師合作,在建筑中應用了諸多引人注目的藝術品。
A spa with a bamboo ceiling features in this private residence envisioned by creative director Nachson Mimran in collaboration with Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning architect Diébédo Francis Kéré.
Located in Gstaad, Switzerland, the residential complex by the duo aims to bridge connections between Africa and the rest of the world – integrating detailed crafts that draw closely on both Swiss and African design motifs.
Aiming to create a unique home for the owner, Mimran and Kéré collaborated with Swiss architect Chaletbau Matti and interior design studio Muza Lab alongside dozens of artists, architects and designers to fill the home with statement pieces.

"The core concept was to create a dynamic space where African and Swiss design traditions intersect, fostering a dialogue between cultures," Mimran told Dezeen.
"We used modest materials to create a home that really works as a meeting point between cultures: aesthetically, and practically," Kéré added.
"We embraced the rich aesthetic traditions of different African cultures through colour, innovative uses of simple materials and by creating a sense of warmth and comfort."

The complex comprises two neighbouring chalets each topped with pitched roofs that respond to the regional context.
Carved and painted details by Chaletbau Matti decorate the home's exterior as a nod to both traditional Swiss-Alpine facades and African crafts.
At the home's rear, an al-fresco dining area overlooks the expansive scenery and is complete with a custom made dining table by Nifemi Marcus-Bello and colourful, bespoke chairs by designer Yinka Ilori.

Beyond their traditional exteriors, the chalets' interior spaces are elaborately furnished and decorated, including the arrival area and carport, which is adorned by large-scale, colourful murals by artist Esther Mahlangu.
Inside, Mimran and Kéré pided the residences' programmes into three areas responding to the themes of Play, Regenerate and Think.

A spa and indoor-outdoor swimming pool designed by Kéré makes up the home's Regenerate area hosted on the ground floor of the private residence.
Punctured by a skylight, a ceiling composed of 9,964 bamboo tubes crowns the space and, according to Kéré, was arranged into a "wave-like composition" to evoke "the feeling of bathing in a cave".

在地下,由柏林 Studio Karhard 設計的以“玩樂”為主題的區域是一個連接兩棟小木屋的共享娛樂空間。
小木屋的起居空間也以類似的方式裝飾,這是一個明亮、雙層高的客廳,配有 Kéré 設計的有機形態樓梯和壁爐,以及藝術家 Rashid Johnson 的凸起壁畫。
由 Muza Lab 設計的室內其他細節包括 Alexander Lamont 的中央桌子和 Aïssa Dione 的家具。
這種精致的裝飾貫穿整個室內,另一個起居空間配有同樣由 Kéré 設計的液態金屬壁爐,以及藝術家 Adam Birch、Arthur Mamou-Mani 和 Madoda Fani 的一系列木制凳子。
Below ground, a play-themed area designed by Berlin-based Studio Karhard serves as a shared entertainment space that connects the two chalets.
A fireplace, bar, DJ booth and bowling alley are contained within the space, alongside a playful, thatched enclosure realised by designer Porky Hefer in collaboration with designers Ousmane Mbaye, Doulsy and Ali Mbaye.
The chalets' living spaces are similarly decorated – with a bright, double-height living room complete with an organically-shaped staircase and fireplace by Kéré, alongside a raised mural by artist Rashid Johnson.
Additional details in the Muza Lab-designed interior include a central table by Alexander Lamont and furnishings by Aïssa Dione.
This intricate decor continues throughout the interior, with an additional living space featuring a liquid metal fireplace also designed by Kéré, and a collection of wooden stools by artists Adam Birch, Arthur Mamou-Mani and Madoda Fani.

餐廳里的設計師家具包括一張同樣由 Aïssa Dione 設計的木制餐桌,餐桌兩側是 Balla Niang 的椅子,上方懸掛著瑞士設計師 Ini Archibong 的枝形吊燈。
其中一間小木屋的廚房通過使用天然材料展示了工藝元素,雕刻的胡桃木櫥柜搭配圖案地板。
房屋中引人注目的藝術品包括一個液態金屬樓梯,樓梯扶手采用縫合皮革。
In the dining room, designer furniture includes a wooden dining table also by Aïssa Dione, which is flanked with chairs by Balla Niang and crowned with a chandelier by Swiss-based designer Ini Archibong.
Crafted elements are showcased through the use of natural materials in one of the chalet's kitchens, where carved walnut cabinets are paired with patterned flooring.
Among the home's statement pieces is a liquid metal staircase, which features a stitched leather handrail.

第二棟小木屋的起居空間是綜合體的“思考”區域。
Kéré 說:“在室內,我們盡可能使用了可持續和樸實的材料,例如用夯土、稻草和大麻代替混凝土?!?br />
Mimran 補充說:“我們的合作方式使我們能夠整合廣泛的藝術表現形式,從定制家具到復雜的木雕?!?br />
A living space in the second chalet serves as the complex's Think area.
"For the interior, we used sustainable and modest materials where possible, for example by replacing concrete with rammed earth, straw and hemp," Kéré said.
"Our collaborative approach allowed us to integrate a wide range of artistic expressions, from custom furniture to intricate wood carvings," Mimran added.

小木屋的其他內部空間也同樣點綴著藝術品,包括藝術家 Joël Andrianomearisoa 在私人住宅電梯中展示的“情感談判”裝置,以及丹麥集體 Superflex 在房屋花園中用大理石創作的 Chalet III 雕塑。
The rest of the chalet interiors are similarly embellished with artworks, including the Sentimental Negotiations installation by artist Joël Andrianomearisoa showcased in the private residence's elevator and the Chalet III sculpture by Danish collective Superflex formed from marble in the home's garden.
Other homes recently completed in Switzerland include a timber annexe created for a traditional barn in rural Switzerland and a family home wrapped with exposed concrete walls and full-height glazing in near Basel.
