Three houses nestle snugly against the steep slope in Malbun. On the outside, they are based on traditional Maienssse houses and barns on the alp once used during the summer months. Inside, their restrained exterior gives way to the ambience of contemporary interior design.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Natural materials of the highest quality create a cosy and intimate setting. These have been meticulously selected, crafted by hand and joined with precise workmanship. Light skims gently over the pale oak flooring, and travels over the green slate kitchen and across the oak panelling of the wall.Save this picture!A wide strip of windows allows an unexpected abundance of sunlight to stream into the interior. This is thanks to the glazing being set in part behind a wooden slat faade, a filter that produces a subtle interplay of light and shadow. According to the time of year, the effect varies in spring, summer, autumn and winter.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!All three houses harmonise with each other in terms of their architecture and interior yet also stand alone. They have been thoughtfully designed and handcrafted to allow the material, the light and the landscape to take centre stage a home where you can live, enjoy life and grow in a calm, balanced environment.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officesandro durrerOfficeMaterialWoodMaterials and TagsPublished on February 16, 2025Cite: "Malbun Houses / Sandro Durrer" 16 Feb 2025.
