The essen3al premise of the commission was to design a small, highly efficient and healthy house capable of making the most of a very narrow plot but with delicious views of the Arosa estuary.

The strong point of the plot is, in addi3on to the men3oned views, its elevated posi3on on the access road, which facilitated the opening of the facades towards the desired orienta3ons without compromising your privacy.

The small size of the house and the economic limita3ons led us to create a rela3vely compact volume but open towards the views through the volume of the porch that extends laterally forming the eaves of the roof, which effec3vely contributes to the good energy performance of the housing as it protects the holes from direct solar radia3on from summer but allows sunning in winter. The en3re envelope has been solved with an exterior insula3on system (SATE) except for the south and east facades, which are protected by the porch and eaves and have been resolved with a ven3lated pine wood facade.

The housing program, on the ground floor, consists of a living room with open kitchen, two bedrooms, a toilet and a room of facili3es and except for the last two, all spaces enjoy the views.

The CLT wood structure (panel against laminate) has reinforced the thermal behavior of the enclosure to reduce the thermal transmission coefficient well below the maximum allowed, contribu3ng further to improve the environmental quality thanks to its breathability and good hygrometric behavior.
