The shingled gable of Haus W in Zug at dusk, timber shutters below deep carved eaves, snow peaks beyond. View through a grey arched doorway at Haus W into a room of old dark timber with a long low fire set in a white plaster hearth. A sitting corner where four-hundred-year-old dark timber meets new pale spruce, with a low armchair, black table lamp and a fur-covered window seat. A vaulted threshold at Haus W looking through to the hearth room, parchment wall lights and a dark rug beyond. The dining room at Haus W, a pale table laid on black flooring in front of a broad ribbed hearth wall. The living room at Haus W, olive and charcoal sofas on a black rug beneath three small shuttered windows in spruce panelling. A spruce-lined bathroom at Haus W with a veined stone trough basin, black-framed mirror, parchment sconces and a carved black stool. A dark linen window seat at Haus W stacked with books, a deep-set square window framing snow-covered forest. The head of the oak spiral staircase at Haus W, its curved balustrade rising into a spruce-lined landing under a hanging parchment lamp. A spruce door standing open at Haus W onto a small bathroom in dark veined marble, with a slim wall sconce above. An old painted panel of a pear propped against spruce panelling at Haus W behind a black domed reading lamp. A pale spruce sliding door drawn back at Haus W to reveal the dining room, its cross-frame table and benches under a black linear pendant. A bed at Haus W dressed in white linen and sheepskin against a black headboard, with a swing-arm parchment reading light and book shelves in spruce. The living room at Haus W beneath a coffered spruce ceiling, deep sofas in olive and brown wool, bare branches in the corner. An antique carved chest with roundels at Haus W, dark ceramic pots and a wooden bowl of fruit against pale spruce panelling. The bar at Haus W set into a niche of grey veined marble, brass tap and bottles on stone shelves, a black cylinder pendant above.
