Architectural Marvel in Thônex

Nestled in Switzerland’s picturesque Thônex, the House in Villette emerges as a 2022 architectural masterpiece by Charles Pictet Baptiste Broillet Architectes Associés. Cast in concrete, it majestically overlooks the Arve valley from a strategically diagonal stance, soaking up sunlight and scenic vistas alike.

The journey proceeds through a corridor where light filters through a vertical wooden sculpture, casting playful patterns. Each step reveals a deliberate intersection of art and architecture, a celebration of form and function. The office space exudes calm creativity, with a built-in wooden desk harmonizing with the surrounding treetops.

In the bathroom, modernity and nature embrace. Dark tiles juxtapose the outdoor greenery, visible through the clear glass, offering a serene retreat. Outdoors, a patio extends living spaces, merging concrete structural elements with the verdant garden and tranquil pool, echoing the sanctuary’s symbiosis with nature.
