 Image Courtesy © Jürg Zimmermann The differentiated composition of horizontal and vertical elements confers a sculptural quality to the protective structure. Arranged behind, an open glass and oak front relates interior with exterior spaces. At different times of the day, multiple situations converge here, in terms of space and light.  Image Courtesy © Jürg Zimmermann The limestone concrete, with sharp edges and smooth finish, anchors the building to the ground. Raising the living level slightly above the surroundings, provides more intimacy in the private areas. The glass facade is tightened room-high to the two cantilever concrete slabs.  Image Courtesy © Jürg Zimmermann The light- coloured concrete walls in front create a series of intermediate spaces from the interior to the exterior. They are not aligned with the glass facade and are jutting out over the concretes labs. These transitareashaveth us been articulated as a courtyard with trees, patio, porch or terrace. In the south-facing terrace, sheltered by the longre taining wall, a swimming-pool has been inserted flush with the floor.
