Nestled on a sloped landscape in Masans, an outskirt of Chur, stands a filigree wooden structure. The building is composed of two distinct sections, each positioned at different heights to blend in with the slope of the land, connected by a common space.
The shape of the building embraces a garden, creating a safe environment for children to play, for herbs and plants to grow, and for residents to gather and enjoy the warmth of sunny summer days. Upon entering the apartments, a surprising revelation unfolds: the building is not just a wooden structure but a hybrid design.
This innovative design allows for the outer skin to be completely and easily replaced without compromising the integrity of the concrete core, ensuring durability for many decades to come. The large windowfront extend the living spaces into the garden and balconies, creating a strong connection to the natural environment.
