SKY'S THE LIMIT

Bringing together creative voices from around the world, an ambitious home in the heart of the Swiss Alps dreams big and fosters cross-cultural dialogues

- SAM COCHRAN

SKY'S THE LIMIT

THE PROJECT'S CREATIVE DIRECTOR, NACHSON MIMRAN (LEFT), AND INTERIOR ARCHITECT FRANCIS KÉRÉ STAND IN THE INDOOROUTDOOR POOL THAT LINKS TWO PRIVATE CHALETS IN GSTAAD, SWITZERLAND; KÉRÉ DESIGNED THE CEILING CANOPY OUT OF 9,964 LASERCUT BAMBOO POLES.

Conventional wisdom suggests that too many cooks would disturb the creative kitchen. But Nachson Mimran-a free-spirited activist working at the intersection of climate science and refugee empowerment is not one to abide by hackneyed thinking. "The more the better," muses Mimran, cofounder of the foundation and platform to.org.

"Let's let loose." It was just that mindset that appealed to a philanthropist entrepreneur looking to build a private residence in Gstaad, a Swiss ski town synonymous with alpine glamour. More than simply a home, the project was meant to be a catalyst for cultural exchange, foregrounding the work of designers and makers from around the world, with a particular emphasis on Africa and the African diaspora.

imageEntrusted by the client with that open-ended mandate, Mimran acted as the project's creative director, orchestrating both individual commissions and the larger ethos of collaboration. As he reflects, "What ideas emerge when you bring together a lot of strong voices?"
