Architect Mario Botta presents the new restaurant.

“I wanted to refresh the look of the building and give it an even more solid and durable character,” Botta told the press. The 80-year-old star architect took part in the original project in 2000 and withdrew from the project at the time due to disagreements with the organizers.

“As an architect, it’s my job to convey an emotion to the client. They need to feel that they are between heaven and earth, experiencing something unique,” ​​the Ticino native added.

“We have almost completed the dismantling phase. We will begin rebuilding next week,” said Bernhard Tschannen, president of Glacier 3000. The shell will be completed by the end of October. The interiors will then be completed within the next six months. Opening is scheduled for spring 2024.

New panoramic corner windows

The exterior of the building will be almost the same according to the plans, while the interior will be completely redesigned with a gain of 35 square meters per floor and new panoramic corner windows. Fire protection has also been improved.

Various structural changes serve to increase energy efficiency. A total of more than 600 solar panels will be added to the southwest facade and side eaves of the new building. These should be able to produce up to 110 kilowatts.

This accounts for the majority of the restaurant’s energy consumption and 6 percent of the company’s total annual energy consumption. The heat generated by the ventilation of the kitchens and the operation of the cold rooms is used in the production of hot water. (pbe/SDA)
