at the northern edge of the site, a compact two storey residence appears with a subtly gabled roofline that references the area’s vernacular architecture. oriented to take advantage of the region’s picturesque views, apertures in the concrete walls are positioned to face the alpine peaks.

internally, the tiered layout of the home ensures that a variety of spatial relationships are created, with a sunken dining area positioned below the living space. the use of pale oak throughout the property complements the abundant use of concrete, with sleeping accommodation joining a study at the uppermost level.
