Space with a Curtain / Allen + Crippa + Berger & Spouse AG


Textual content description supplied by way of the architects. All through our research at ETH, we had been requested to design a single-family residence and received the contest in opposition to two different workplaces. At the moment, we had neither an administrative center nor enjoy in building, so we requested an area architectural company, Berger & Spouse AG, for give a boost to within the implementation.



At first, we experimented with other hybrid buildings and load-bearing methods to generate sufficient garage mass for the nice and cozy summer season days at the one hand and reach a slender wall construction at the different. The result’s a load-bearing skeleton construction made from concrete with prefabricated picket parts as external partitions and a stretched textile façade as climate coverage. The cantilevered ground slabs with exterior curtains supply further solar coverage and create a personal outside house. Along side the sunblinds, the curtains, and the façade, the home is wrapped in a textile get dressed. A spout levels the drainage of the massive roof spaces and fills a neatly at the terrace that can be utilized to irrigate the lawn.



The home is located in a residential house within the rhine valley and opens against the lawn with a view of the pre-alps. The cantilevered roofs direct the view to the massive lawn at the first ground and to the encircling mountain peaks at the higher ground.



The development is 3 tales with a basement and is composed of 3 an identical ground plans and recollects the common sense of previous barn homes within the area. The servant areas within the again residence encompass a staircase, a rest room, and a pantry. The served areas within the entrance residence encompass the residing and eating room and the bed room.
