Case Study – Casa Caviezel – 1995
- Vrin, Graubünden
- Casa Oscar Caviezel, designed by Swiss architect Gion A. Caminada, stands out on the main street of Vrin, nestled among similar "knitted" buildings. Although it shares the village’s traditional architecture, it incorporates modern elements that distinguish it from its neighbors.
- The house, situated on a hilly plot, invites social interaction through its front garden, connecting with the community. Its construction uses traditional materials, with added insulation and a knitted structure, marking an evolution of the local architectural style.
- Casa Caviezel blends old and new, making it a modern extension of Vrin’s historic building style, while still respecting the region's heritage and craftsmanship.
