Doug Aitken’s mirrored house in the swiss alps is called Mirage Gstaad. Mirage Gstadd marks the third edition of this piece by Aitken as the mirror-house was first placed in the Palm Springs desert in 2017 and inside an old bank in Detroit in 2018, Via Hypebeast
Those hiking the snow-covered mountains of Gstaad in Switzerland may come across Doug Aitken’s mirrored house called Mirage Gstaad. The single-story structure’s exterior is entirely covered in mirrors, reflecting the surrounding natural landscape and appearing to vanish into it.
The interiors are also fixated with mirrors, creating a kaleidoscopic effect upon entering the establishment. The abode was modeled after the rant houses in California that were built in the 1920s-1930s. It also draws design parallels with the modernist homes built by the iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
