90 Swiss made In einem Meer aus beheizten Glasperlen erlebt der Spa-Gast Tag zwei der Schöpfungsgeschichte. Spa guests experience the second day of the story of creation amid a sea of heated glass beads. Das Zimmer im Zimmer. Im gläsernen Würfel der Cube-Loft befindetsichdie Badewelt. Room within a room: the bathing area is located within the glass cube of the “cube loft”. Simon Lutz betreibt neben dem Acqua mit Erfolg die Baracca Zermatt in Basel - mitgegründet und designt von Heinz Julen. Hometown export: together with gastronome Simon Lutz, Heinz Julen has created the Baracca Zermatt in Zurich and Basel. Heinz Julen carried on, though. He built Zermatt hotels on others’ behalf, like the Coeur des Alpes and the Matterhorn Focus; he designed furniture; he made chandeliers out of plumbing supplies; he gave guest lectures on architecture all over the world. And last April he marked his biggest triumph to date, with the opening in Zermatt of his Backstage boutique hotel. Inhabitable art The new hotel has been built on top of another Julen project: the Vernissage cultural centre, which opened 20 years ago. With its seven double rooms, its six de luxe doubles and (especially) its six “cube lofts”, the new house at Hofmatt strasse 4 in the heart of the village is an inhabitable work of art. Fortyfive square metres in area with 3.7metre ceilings: that’s each cube loft. In the centre is a glass cube, a “room within a room”, home to the bathroom facilities. Above it, reached by a wooden staircase, is the double bed. It’s all unmistak ably Julen with its chrome steel, glass, wood and velvet fabrics: nobody mixes materials as boldly as this 47yearold visionary. Every piece of the interior has been designed by Heinz Julen, too, and handcrafted by his tenperson team. The hotel lift carries the Backstage guest not just down to the lively club scene below, but directly onto the stage. “Our guests are our stars!” Heinz Julen explains. Also typical of this practising Catholic is the biblical language evident in the hotel’s wellness zone. Guests here are immersed in the story of Genesis, in a sevenstation journey that moves from the creation of light to the separation of Heaven and Earth, on to the creation of first plants, then the universe, the animals and man, and finally to the day of rest. An airport alpine idyll Symbols, tradition, history and visions: they’re all vital to Heinz Julen. You can experience the Julen philosophy in Amsterdam now, too: he opened his second Heinz Julen Shop there (following the one in Zermatt) on 21 October. A Julen experience is also available at Zurich Airport and in Basel, where, four years ago, Heinz set up his Baracca Zermatt restaurants together with gastronome Simon Lutz. Here, in cosy chalets furnished by the artist, guests enjoy Valais specialities and immerse themselves in that Zermatt feeling. The Baraccas have proved so popular that further outlets are being discussed for Amsterdam, Tokyo and New York. Future plans Boredom is not a state that Heinz Julen is familiar with. Like any true visionary, he already has his next venture lined up: a stillsecret project on the Klein Matterhorn, together with architect Ueli Lehmann and the Zermatt mountain railway company. He won’t say any more just yet. “I work on the quiet: it’s the only way to make visions happen!”·
