Military hut transformed into chic Andermatt restaurant with ‘concealed tunnels'
The Wallpaper* Architects Directory has turned 20. Conceived in 2000 as our index of emerging architectural talent, this annual listing of promising practices, has, over the years, spanned styles and continents; yet always championing the best and most exciting young studios and showcasing inspiring work with an emphasis on the residential realm. To mark the occasion, this summer, we're looking back at some of our over-500 alumni, to catch up about life and work since their participation and exclusively launch some of their latest completions. The Wachtuus Mountain restaurant, set in the Andermatt area's mountains, is a transformed military hut with a concealed ‘entrance to a network of tunnels’ says its creator, London based architectural designer and Wallpaper* Architects Directory alumnus Jonathan Tuckey.
