The building is located next to the previous study by Peter Zumthor, completed in 1986 and still active: a simple construction effectively camouflaged the village houses, wooden slats for the coating.
In contrast, the new home-studio is clearly detached from the environment precisely because of the materials: concrete in sight for the walls and corrugated sheet for roofing gable of the body on two levels, where you will find the house. Alteration and introversion that marks the southern wall of the blind study, in reality denounce such strong links with the surrounding area, made up of isolated houses, alternating with small gardens open.
The building is organized around a patio by the elongated geometry that opens to the west, instead of entering the study. From this position is clearly visible the large window which gives light to the living room, as other-paginated-off with a steel frame that is detached from the plane of the wall. On the north side, towards the mountains and the river, large windows look out at a shallow inlet environment, the bedroom suite and study on the first floor, kitchen and raised above the street level.
On the patio overlooking studying, meeting room, private studio environment where even-distribution-and living room. The sequence follows the logic of these environments, gradual but strict, the transition from the true study-area public employees-most positions in the private and intimate rooms on the first floor.
Environments create a spatial continuity articulated by closed blocks, where there are service functions: archive, library, pantry and services.
The connections are secured with the upper floor with two staircases, and emphasized at all narrow-enough-indeed, one of which connects directly to the kitchen and bedrooms. The use of geometric shapes and simple colors / neutral, contrasting with the bustle of the exuberant vegetation of the patio is once again a stylistic architectural pattern where the tactile qualities of materials are highlighted in an extraordinary way: the sensuality of the subject.
The continuity between the spaces related to work, study, giving clues to the daily functions key to understanding the will zumthoriana to keep everything in a strategic dimension that allows you to personally control all phases of design and construction of the building and undertake an ongoing relationship, direct, daily between the collaborators.
