Contours of Connection

  • Masans, Chur
  • As one walks along the winding path, bordered by an old stone wall, an opening appears, inviting exploration of a new route and the expansive garden surrounding it. Massive brick walls unfold, following the natural contours of the land.
  • Between these solid brick walls, lighter wooden façades extend. Sliding doors connect or separate rooms, allowing the layout to adapt to the needs of the residents. The relationship between the heavy brick walls and the lighter wooden elements creates a clear structural hierarchy.
  • Approaching the house from street level, a wall draws passersby in, offering a view of the heart of the house below. This transition completes the journey, inviting everyone to enjoy the shared outdoor space, where the community can gather and engage with each other.
