Designed for a traditional client, this contemporary architectural project goes beyond Swiss minimalism and abstraction. Its design language balances simplicity with a strong visual impact, creating a structure that feels timeless yet modern. The concept reinterprets classic elements with innovative approaches, making it a standout example of contemporary Alpine design.

The building is envisioned as a composition of three concrete “tables” stacked in varying arrangements. The first floor rises gently from the cellar, housing technical and additional rooms in the basement. This elevated ground floor establishes a distinctive connection to the surrounding garden, introducing a sense of monumentalism despite the building’s modest scale. The second floor accommodates three bedrooms, while the upper floor’s folded form creates an inverted roof, complete with a striking gargoyle that channels rainwater into a small pond.

Constructed with an exposed concrete exterior and insulated interiors, the structure achieves a seamless integration of form and function. The two six-foot base floors feature subtle deformations, maximizing interior space while maintaining the building’s geometric clarity. This interplay of simplicity and complexity results in a dynamic architectural experience, where each element is thoughtfully tailored to enhance both aesthetics and utility.
