Contemporary alpine home features panoramic valley views
Built on the fringe of a tiny alpine village in Switzerland, this house benefits from an amazing view of the surrounding valley
The living spaces are all located on the ground floor and the and the living room has a double height under the apparent framework. A car-port and the technical room are located outside of the main volume to maximize the usable space. The rooms and a mezzanine with a balcony on the living are located on the first floor.
Three terraces, all offering various qualities of space and sunshine allow to offer outside extensions to all the common spaces.
