residential building

the architecture resembles a contemporary, landscape-integrated mountain or nature house. it combines a minimalist, modern design language with warm, natural materials. the building consists of several interlocking, flat-roofed volumes of varying heights. this gives it the appearance of a small group of buildings rather than a single large structure. the individual building sections follow the contours of the terrain, creating a low, horizontal silhouette. the vertical wood cladding gives the simple cubes a warm, natural surface. the dark patina allows the house to visually merge with the vegetation and shadows.
floor-to-ceiling windows and large sliding doors fully open the living spaces to the landscape. the mountain scenery thus becomes practically an integral part of the architecture. the massive dry stone walls made of irregular natural stone anchor the house to the property. at the same time, they terrace the slope and create different levels. terraces, expansive windows, stairs, and the garden are seamlessly integrated. the architecture is conceived less as an enclosed box and more as a transition between the house and the landscape. dark wood, light natural stone, black window frames, and warm interior lighting create a serene, sophisticated atmosphere.
