A James Bond-style chalet
Have you ever visited a sumptuous residence that literally took your breath away?
Welcome to the Lonsdaleite, an architectural marvel clinging to the mountainside with the most sumptuous and luxurious finishes you can imagine.
This chalet stands on the highly coveted Suvretta hill, above St. Moritz. The total area is 5,600 square metres (about the size of a football pitch) spread over seven floors. The walls of the city have been lined with mink, wool, cashmere, and 24-carat gold.
A chalet straight out of the imagination of the famous interior architect Jacques Garcia, this property reflects all the know-how of French craftsmanship.
Our St.Moritz bergères, covered in white mink, thus find a place of choice in the main living room.
