Case Study – House for an Art Collector

  • Therwil
  • Hidden in plain sight, the modest home sits above while the real treasure remains protected underground. Built for an art collector, this house rejects display in favour of simplicity.
  • A pitched roof and prefabricated concrete panels, clamped and fixed with wooden slats, give it the look of an ordinary dwelling. A slight overhang makes it appear to float above its solid base.
  • Beneath the surface lies a concealed gallery, a quiet bunker for art.
