Graubünden is a small canton in eastern Switzerland known for its majestic landscapes and bustling winter sports scene. But hidden deep within its valleys is the home of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Peter Zumthor, and five of his greatest works. Known for his sensitivity to materials and setting, his buildings are masterpieces in subtleness, allowing for the building and landscape to live in harmony.
