Reconstruction single family house
- Wettswil / Switzerland
- 2014
- Design / Development - cancelled
- with Jan Solenthaler
Pre-existences and conditions
- existing house from the fifties in bad condition
- the house does not profit of the good views to the valley on the south and west
- many small rooms in an disorganised arrangement
- the volume of the house must be preserved
Concept and solution
- make big openings in façade and roof to bring light, profit of views and increase connection with the garden
- demolish few partitions and make cuts on slabs to enlarge and connect rooms
- roof floor completely repaired and transform into a loft-like semi independent apartment
- the volume is respected but the appearance is 'updated'
