Switzerland. A stone house perfectly integrated into the landscape

Wespi de Meuron Romeo’s project looks towards Lake Maggiore, adapts to the sloping ground and draws inspiration from its characteristic dry stone walls.

Wespi de Meuron Romeo architects completed a single-family home in Ascona, Switzerland, inspired by the terraced landscape of Ticino and its dry stone walls. These are interrupted to form a generous entrance to the house, with a private open space. The residence is a simple stone cube. On the ground floor there are two small bedrooms and the main service areas. Upstairs there is a master bedroom and a spacious living area, connected to the kitchen. A large window overlooks Lake Maggiore. The integration of the house with the place is complete: morphological, material and visual.
