Concrete suburban residential house, Alps, Switzerland

Located in the Alps (village of Lumino, Bellinzona, Switzerland) this concrete suburban residential house stands as a monolithic element, echoing and quietly complementing its context. The village area is characterised by stone built traditional houses date back centuries. The new concrete suburban residential house is intended as contemporary interpretation of the vernacular and a relevant response to single construction material of old houses; its exposed concrete form resonates the presence of old stone houses and recalls the revered strength. The house acts as a sort of bastion between the modern residential expansion and the old core.

Small suburban residential home, Switzerland

This small suburban residential home located in the countryside of Switzerland. Designed by FOVEA Architects, country cottage makes an unusual impression with a pronounced angular shape of the facade. The upper part of the house is tilted at an angle of 40 degrees and the windows facing south, this geometry allows the direct rays of the low winter sun to penetrate freely into the room and at the same time protects the house from excessive heat from the hot summer sun. The house was delivered to site in assembled and on site sheathed with pine boards, allowing the cottage to fit harmoniously into the local architecture.
