House transformation in Charrat
Geneva architect studio Clavienrossier created this home in the Swiss Alps by adding two tinted concrete volumes atop the remains of a stone house.
Clavienrossier wanted to create a strong contrast between the remaining part and the new structures. they chose to oppose clear geometric lines with existing rough old stone walls. Volumes of visible tinted concrete replaced the double-sided roof and the transformed area.
Clavienrossier tried to create an ensemble, to establish a dialogue with the existing. That was the reason why they opted for a massive construction made in reinforced concrete, with a stone-like color. The oxides added in the concrete made the hue similar to a tuff, stone found in a very small quantity in the stone walls.
That I like is the absence of corridors. Circulation is made along the external wall, from room to room. This overall view continues beyond the windows, opening onto the surrounding landscape. SpaceCool!!!
