Gauthier House in Evilard, Switzerland by Bauzeit Architekten is articulated based on two really simple spatial typologies.

The first one, a compacted and pure single-storied level with huge window panels that open to the Alps, framing the beautiful view.

The difference of enclosure between North and South façades is two faces: “behind” the street and “on the front” The Alps as a visual limit.

The volume of the lower ground floor retracts from the facade line in the first floor, which produces a floating effect over the natural prairie. The interior is arranged in 4 individual rooms, including wet and comunal areas, which are defined by the concept of open space.

Both the garden and interior rooms, with their glazed facades, open onto the valley.
