瑞士 Val Monastero 山间混凝土住宅，融入自然景观

Architect：Ruinelli Associati Architetti

Location：Val Monastero, Lü, Switzerland

Project Year：2014

Category：Private Houses

The house is built on a steep slope, a ridge on the border between the heart of the village and the area with newer buildings. The project contrasts these two realities, seeking a profound dialogue with the landscape. It is the landscape, in fact, that inspired the monolithic structure in concrete which is embedded in the slope as if it were one of the erratic boulders strewn across the meadows. The appetite for ‘chance’ is reflected in the irregular pentagonal groundplan and in the broken line of the coping in the upper part of the structure.

The architectonic approach to landscape finds expression in the desire to frame it. Consequently, the facades are determined by what you can see‘from within, looking out’ and the windows are chosen on the basis of the best views rather than strictly formal solutions. The search for materials, too, investigates the relationship between the fabricated and the natural.

The concrete facades, with the exception of the window frames, are pitted like the natural surface of rock – a quotation of the local landscape - evoking the old, yellowish chalk-based plasters obtained in this case by mixing aggregates of Lahasa marble and Terra di Siena pigment.

The interiors are characterized by the use of local materials, rough-cut silver quartzite and larch from the Monastero Valley withinserts in pinewood.
