In 1995, the father of Swiss architect Vilerio Olgiati left part of his estate to the community of Films, under the condition that the Yellow House was preserved and painted white. Valerio Olgiati radically redesigned the classicist-inspired Yellow House, so that today it stands out at the very centre of the Graubunden spa as an erratic, white cube. In this way, his son completely reversed the original appearance of the building, at the same time creating numerous references to its original core.
