The Morphosis-designed tower will join Swiss architect Peter Zumthor’s Therme Vals Spa, and Japanese architect Tadao Ando’s Valser Path, which is expected to be complete by 2017.

According to Morphosis, the new hotel is defined by three forms, which include a podium linking the building with neighbouring structures.

Tadao Ando said: "The transparent and slim ‘7132 Tower’, designed by Thom Mayne of Morphosis, will create a completely new world of hospitality in Vals.

"As much as possible, the hotel is a minimalist act that re-iterates the site and offers to the viewer a mirrored, refracted perspective of the landscape."

"I believe it will harmonise with the beautiful landscape, and will attract and impress various guests and visitors from all over the world."

Morphosis Architects design director Thom Mayne said: "For the 7132 hotel and arrival, the incredible setting demands reducing materiality and presence in the design so that, as in all our work, the connection to site becomes paramount."
