House in Cologny

The house is set in a large wooded plot near the access road, reinterpreting the theme of the "maison de Maître". Its position in the site and its relation with the volume of the garage define a side court and a garden side. The house present sit self as a simple, massive and imposing volume marked by three cuts that form the entrance, access to the garden and a vertical opening. The facades are pierced with repetitive windows whose dimensions reveal the exceptional size of the interior spaces.


By analogy with the villas of the XIXth century, the interior space is organized around a central room in double height lit naturally. The ground floor exploits the topography to arrange the different spaces at different levels connected by a few steps. Upstairs, the rooms offer views of the surrounding gardens.
