I’m going to ask you a question so you can answer to yourself:

What would you prefear to see by you bedroom’s window at the morning: a huge lake surrounded by mountains or an indirectly iluminated wall with just one poor plant?

[...] Brione House / Wespi de Meuron The new building is located in a privileged but sprawled urban area above Locarno, with an overwhelming view on the city, the surrounding mountains and the lake. The project is a discrete reaction to a daily subject: to build into a crowded and chaotic urbanized area. Therefore all attributes of a classical house were totally omitted (read more…) [...]

I wonder if the lack of windows, contrasted with the one massive window out to the view in the main living space, might in fact prevent one from becoming imune to the beauty of the surroundings?

I view this residence in the tradition of old stone residences. This home is a beautiful rendition of a modern contemporary castle. I have never liked the idea of living in a castle due to their “cold” nature, however this home makes a wonderful modern argument to the contrary. Well done.
