Villa Saviese in Valais, Switzerland by Giorla & Trautmann Architectes

Article source: Giorla & Trautmann Architectes

The villa is built above Sion on gently sloping south-facing land, overlooking the Rhone Valley. The house is organized on two levels. Outdoor spaces are treated as extensions of interior spaces and defined by white-tinted exposed concrete walls identical to the interior walls to emphasize the unity and continuity of the space.
