#MACHarchive A breathtaking location on the banks of Lake Geneva sparked our concept for this private residence leading us to the creation of a sculptural volume that rests by the lake like a rock. The exterior of the finished dwelling is angular like a geometric sculpture. Large S-shaped openings in the concrete and cement stone walls convey a sense of a meander through nature; an idea continued by an S-shaped path that leads through the house to the lake. Recessed windows add a touch of playfulness and movement to the solid exterior which itself forms a boundary between the realms of man and nature. The interior walls are made from Valser Quarzit stone. Floors are oiled Swiss oak. Selected colours integrate the space with its natural surroundings. Stone fireplaces also act as an architectural focal point. Each one is situated in a central floor-to-ceiling column of local stone that ties all the floors together like a fixing pin carved by nature herself. #architecture #architektur #innenarchitektur #interiordesign #swissdesign #macharchitektur #mach #craft #detaildesign #detail #zurich #swissarchitects #switzerland #eth #etharchitects #sia #schweiz #midcentury #midcenturymodern #timeless #craftsmanship #privateresidence #privatehousing #villa #modernarchitecture
