The interplay between metal and wood continues throughout the house, with uniform, grey surfaces created throughout using mineral coating on the walls and concrete for the floors. At the same time, wooden furniture adds warmth and contrast to the otherwise monochrome interior. According to the architects, this “timeless contrast” between wood and metal was established when the house was first built, and so, by accentuating these materials, the design remains consistent with the building’s original character. Generous openings in every room allow for ample sunlight to fill the interiors, and align the spaces with the beautiful alpine views and the garden outside. Favourite design touch: the simple desk nook on the top of the stairwell, which, with its full-length window looking out over the rooftops of Savièse to the north, offers a hidden corner in this otherwise very compact house.
