Apartment Building in the Mountains

Tradition and modernity

Location
Wildhaus, SG
Year
Timber building uniting tradition and modernity in a mountain village in the Toggenburg.

The project

In a mountain village in the Toggenburg, a timber building is taking shape that picks up the traditional elements of a farmhouse yet expresses itself in the spirit of the times. Familiar forms meet a contemporary language.

The building takes up the history of the place, settles into the mountain village with its conventional volumetry and convinces with contemporary apartments. The timber construction shapes its character.

Glimpses

The timber building in the context of the mountain village in the Toggenburg. Contemporary architectural language combined with familiar roof forms. Living and commercial use under one roof in the timber apartment building. Study of the timber building bringing tradition and modernity together in the village centre.
