Besides the pool, cream chaise loungers glow like winter snow. The matching parasols mirror the Alpine peaks in the distance. The stone and wood bar evokes the surrounding mountains and forests. “The pool is encompassed by one of the most stunning landscapes in the world,” says Inge and Nathan. “It was important to us that the design didn’t compete with that.”
Hence why they chose natural materials - wood, stone, and woven textures — that feel right at home for the pool terrace redesign. “The handcrafted loungers are teak, chosen for its warmth and durability, paired with pale ivory fabrics that keep the palette light,” they explain. “From textured marble and sculptural planters to leather-trimmed stools, every element adds tactility, comfort, and a connection to the landscape.”
“We wanted the pool to blend with the natural beauty of the gardens around it,” say the designers. “The greenery and the landscape guide the design, rather than overpower it,” like the new pool bar they crafted in green stone. Its wood lattice ceiling is etched with the hotel’s logo, adding the personal touch for which Muza Lab is known.
Inge and Nathan designed The Alpina Gstaad 15 years ago. “This project is very close to our hearts. Returning has been a special experience for us.” This long-standing collaboration speaks to, “the kind of relationships we always strive to build with projects, with owners, and the people who we work alongside.”
The new pool terrace echoes Muza Lab’s design approach for the hotel’s interiors. “It merges craftsmanship and intricate details, for a space that feels both modern and connected to its Alpine surroundings.” Experience it for yourself as you sip refreshing cocktails by the pool with views of the soaring summits.
