The house can be 'invisible' according to the landscape and weather in the Alps

Mirage Gstaad was designed based on inspiration from the ranch-style houses in suburban California in the 1920s and 1930s. The house is surrounded by mirrors that can reflect the surrounding landscape and interact with the mountain landscape and sky through the seasons. Previously, the house was installed in the desert near Palm Springs, and now it is located in the Alpine meadows above Gstaad, Switzerland.

From sunrise to sunset, the changing light and weather here are reflected on the surface of the house.

Our lives change, Aitken said, and works of art are shifting with us.

When coming here, visitors can also go inside the house to admire this work as well as the surrounding natural landscape. Different versions of this work are located in Palm Springs, California, USA.
