The Villa Vals designed by Bjarne Mastenbroek and Christian Müller, of the architectural firms SeARCH and CMA. Their design plan was to completely integrate the villa into the landscape to avoid disturbing the unspoiled nature.
the villa is only possible via the nearby wooden Graubünder shed, through an underground tunnel which runs straight through the mountainside. The façade of the house is slightly slanted, adding to the view of the mountain scenery across the valley opposite of the house.

Spencer Finch pays tribute to the great American poet Emily Dickinson in his art installation, “366 (Emily’s Miraculous Year)“. He set up 366 colored candles in a spiraled form, and each color corresponds to a Dickinson poem that was written in 1862– the miraculous year where she wrote 366 poems in 365 days. The poems each mention a color, and that color is transformed into a candle in Finch’s work, to burn for 24 hours one after another.
