The Square Layout Modern Design Erlenbach House in Switzerland
The building is situated at the junction in between the plateau and the hill, south of the current housing complicated. The square layout is inspired by classical roots. The generous hall, with the ultra-big skylight, opens up the „exterior facade“ of the 4 rooms. From the hall, the stairway is moved into the opening up of the core and the room is made for a small library. The two loggias expand the hall into the exterior area and orient the building along the hillside.
The groundfloor, or fairly the basement, is organized in layers and runs parallel to the hillside. With the watch of the lake of Zurich and the alps, the connected wooden porch articulates the edge of the hill, anchoring the building to the terrain. The kitchen dining room area extends the whole width of the room in the direction of the south into an intimate patio of stone tiles. The exterior wall of the dining room generates two different views, 1 over the patio southwards and 1 over the residing room.
