Eighteen geodesic pods and eighteen cabins at Les Cerniers above Les Giettes in Valais, Switzerland, run by the Definitely Different Group. Each pod is 7 metres across and 40 square metres with a 4.3 metre ceiling, a large panoramic window, a terrace and its own pellet stove; the pods were built by Pacific Domes with recycled plastic covers, white in winter and meadow coloured in summer. The cabins were built by local craftsmen with larch facades from Swiss forests and all materials produced in the region. Whitepod holds Swisstainable Level III, and there is a sauna.
Eighteen geodesic pods and eighteen cabins at Les Cerniers, above Les Giettes in Valais. Each pod is seven metres across and forty square metres with a 4.3 metre ceiling, a large panoramic window, a terrace and its own pellet stove; they were built by Pacific Domes with recycled plastic covers, white in winter and meadow coloured in summer, so the hotel changes colour with the season. The cabins were built by local carpenters. Water comes from a spring, named as the supply to the cabins and provided in the pods. Shower products are Soeder and the laundry detergent is Moa, both Swiss and both named on the record rather than described.
All eight areas, for every record. Each row opens to what was published, where we read it and when.
Publishing something is not the same as it being good. Every line below was read and placed by a person, not scored by a machine. What each rung means
Named means the property published something you can look up: a brand, a product or a number. Stated means it says so with nothing behind it. Not published means we looked and found nothing, which is a gap in our reading and not an answer about the building.
The air in a closed room is what you breathe for eight hours. What decides it is the filter grade, the fresh air rate, and whether damp has ever been looked for.
Swiss trade press quoted the operator's co-CEO in February 2023 describing a method that draws fresh air from beneath the pod platform and reinjects it inside the pod, with no equipment, filter grade or air change rate given.

You drink it, cook with it and stand under it. What is in it depends on the source and on what, if anything, filters it, and both are things a property can name.

Light is what tells a body the time of day. The part a building controls is what its fittings emit and when, which a named product or a colour temperature makes checkable.

Wiring, routers and devices put electromagnetic fields in a room. What a building decides is where they sit relative to the bed, and whether anyone has measured it.
We found nothing published on this. That is a gap in what we could read, not a finding about the building.
The things you sleep on and touch: the mattress, the sheets, the pillows, and the paints, glues and finishes around them. A named fabric, a fibre content or a certification can be looked up. A structural palette tells you about the building, not about the bed.

What you can hear at three in the morning decides whether you slept. Insulation, plant and machinery, and what sits next door are what decide it.
