The house stands on the edge of the alpine settlement of Unterseen in the Berner Oberland (Switzerland), like a boulder carried away by the nearby glacier. The slightly sloped terrain and the angled shape of the house allow for a clear view of the surrounding mountain panorama. The square window openings of different sizes relate to striking views and make the spatial structure inside legible. The folded facade facing the street accentuates the entrance area. The interior is structured with changing floor levels and room heights creating a sequence of compact and open spaces.
