Pia Maria Schmid (*1954 in Zurich)
attended, before her education to become an architect, the film and television academy in Berlin and was a staff member for the projects in overseas help development. Since 1980 she has worked as an architect with her own office, placing emphasis on hotels, gastronomy and wellness both in Switzerland and abroad. She has also realised projects with the governments help, for example the Swiss Embassy in Stockholm or the film school in Italy.
Her conceptions are a result of a synthesis between precise analysis and artisitic freedom. Amongst her most important works are the 4-star Hotel Saratz Pontresina, the 4-star Hotel Montana in Lucerne as well as both of the 5-star Hotels Parkhotel Waldhaus Flims and Hotel Bellevue Palace Berne. A variety of restaurants like the Kaufleuten or the Terrasse in Zurich also carry her signature.
