[...] House in Scaiano / Wespi de Meuron This house for vacations is located at the border of a small historical village, which is still quite good preserved. There is a beautiful view over the lake and towards the mountains. It’s only possible to reach the house by foot. There isn’t a street leading close to the site, what made the construction more difficult (read more…) [...]

I like it’s composition, but the interior materials are not making it “the comfortable little house for vacation it should be” so maybe wooden warmer floors and larger windows would improve its appearance a lot!

I would like to live in this house. It is a timeless design blending traditional building with a modern elegance. Great work.

Agree with RWTX…What is this, a house for paranoic? Swiss masohism?

Hate it! Sorry to disagree with everyone, but it seems like an unarticulated brutish box with rather generic “contemporary” interior. What’s so special about it? I think you are all prejudiced by the architect’s name.

Lovely house. Timeless. Simple.

And anyone can correct if I’m mistaken, but I believe that Jerome is Pierre’s nephew.

This studio produces consistently superb architecture with total confidence and an incredibly refined sense of place, materials, and palette. To my eye, this is the essence of architectural thought. This sort of adaptive reuse, especially in dense Ticino, is particularly appealing. Bravo.

Amazing, especially the materials and construction. But why is there so few open view towards the great view over that swiss
lake. The view on it from the eating table is cool, but a sitting area where you have a generous view over the lake would be of a higher quality I think.
