Case Study – Einfamilienhaus Ruffner-Ramming – 2001

  • Maienfeld, Graubünden
  • The Ruffner-Ramming family’s home in Maienfeld embodies a vision of openness and privacy. Large windows connect the interior with the surrounding landscape, while the upper floor’s closed facades enhance privacy. Sun-yellow fabric protects against glare and heat, and lush greenery further ensures seclusion.
  • Characterized by steel, glass, and fabric, the house’s design leaves load-bearing wooden profiles hidden. The rooms are open, with no walls, and the staircase serves as both furniture and a room divider, creating a flexible, airy space.
  • This home strikes a balance between openness and security, fulfilling the family’s desire for a peaceful, connected living environment.
