Case Study – Casa Maus – 1916

  • Lumbrein, Graubünden
  • Casa Maus, originally a traditional Swiss farmhouse in Lumbrein, was designed to house two families, reflecting the "strickbau" style with wood and stone, emphasizing community life.
  • In 2006, architect Hemmi renovated the house, preserving its exterior while adding a terrace and custom windows. The traditional character remained, but with modern updates to enhance comfort.
  • Inside, the design shifted focus from communal spaces to more intimate, private areas by removing walls and reconfiguring rooms for individual comfort.
