Heinz Julen Loft

Description from the owner

This is without doubt the most spectacular property in Zermatt, if not the Alps. A huge 300m2 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 local star designer Heinz Julen. The Loft was Heinz's private home where he hosted many rock-star parties. We are honoured that it is now exclusively available for rental through Mountain Exposure.

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 the village, 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.Read more

Additional Location Information

Its location perched high on a hill gives it spectacular views of the village and the Mischabel mountains, yet access to the heart of the village is easy: a 2 minute walk from the top of the Omnia Hotel lifts, for which you will have a special key. The village end of the lift delivers you to the heart of Zermatt, in the main street close to the church.

  Left on 07/06/2012 for a stay in July 2012
  
  

  Stayed here with the family in early July. For a family of 4 we had plenty of space (more than we needed). The inside of the loft is furnished very nicely and gives this cozy yet artistic feel. The rooms are very comfy, yet a bit exposed to the rest of the house. The sauna and jacuzzi were to get back to, especially after cold or rainy days. The loft sits on a hill, which gives a great view of Zermatt. To get to town from the loft, its a shirt walk to the elevator right next to the Omniya hotel, which take you right to the center of town. Shops, restaurants, pharmacies, supermarkets, coffee shops, and the train station are all within a 5-10 min walk from the loft.
  The loft has all the things someone might need, and is great to stay at with a family. However, I wouldn't suggest to stay here with elderly people or anyone with a physical disability, as the short walk to the loft from the lift is rather steep and can get a bit tiring.
