Case Study – House Sundroina – 1948

  • Lenzerheide, Graubünden
  • The house features adaptable spaces, where openings can be closed or opened, transforming the rooms from wide and bright to dark and compact. A light wooden structure, visible in the floorplan, allows for flexible dimensions.
  • The rooms are arranged on different levels, with multiple openings between them, creating dynamic interactions not only among the spaces but also with the residents. This layout fosters a fluid connection throughout the home.
  • Although originally designed as a single-family house, it includes a steep, cupboard-hidden ladder leading to a low-ceiling attic, offering additional sleeping space. The house’s versatility allows it to evolve with its occupants' needs over time.
