Suvretta | 7500 St. Moritz
Unique setting in the midst of a Swiss stone pine and larch wood.
Built 1911 – 12 by Karl Koller for Anton Bon; interior reconstruction 1928. Castle-like complex with a stepped hip roof. Accentuation of the middle of the building with an enormous, cambered gable between two round towers. Lounges copy those of comfortable and cosy English country homes; Wood is favoured in place of the usual, often pompous décor and furnishings with painted ceilings, gilded stucco and marble, which was common at that time.
