A chic and elegant Winter café at the foot of the Matterhorn

‍

To celebrate the end of the year, Nespresso has unveiled a prestigious collaboration with the Fusalp brand , a veritable icon of luxury in the world of winter sports, creating a chic alpine experience for coffee lovers that combines refinement and elegance.

‍

‍

Nestled in the gardens of the Grand Hotel Zermatterhof, this contemporary dome offers an " Après-Ski " experience like no other! Coffee lovers can enjoy exclusive winter creations, from the Alpine Espresso Martini to a revisited latte and a Christmas spice recipe.

The detailed technical solution provided by our team

‍

1. An 11m-diameter white dome and a panoramic crystal membrane with a breathtaking view of the starry sky for 360° visibility.

2. A set of suspended lights lined with large spotlights were fixed to the ceiling to create a warm, weightless and contemporary light scenography.

3. A custom-designed double-door hatch was installed at the entrance to the dome, revealing a beautiful illuminated copper sign featuring the logos of both brands.

An ambitious project in FUGU's DNA

‍

1. Complex high-altitude logistics with x2 load transfers (7t of equipment transported overland, then by rail, then electrically)

2. A meticulous assembly technique with faceted scenography around the entire periphery of our structure

3. Thermal insulation: A rational electric heating system (a mix of aerothermal and infrared heaters to limit electricity consumption while guaranteeing heating comfort) and ventilation were installed to mitigate as far as possible the phenomenon of condensation due to temperature differences between the inside and outside of the structure.
