Architectural Design — Doug Aitken: Mirage Gstaad
Gstaad, Switzerland. February 2019 - April 2021
Role: Architectural designer
Design of a site-specific architectural installation — a ranch-style suburban house clad entirely in mirrored surfaces. Installed in multiple diverse locations between 2017 and 2021, the structure reflects sky, terrain, and light, appearing to dissolve into its surroundings. As the environment shifts throughout the day, Mirage becomes a living lens—a complete environment: blurring boundaries between art, architecture, and nature. Exterior dimensions: 18’-6” x 43’-6” x 47’-4” (5.63 x 13.25 x 14.43 m).
