Locality, Legality, and Limiting Landscapes: The Story Behind Switzerland’s Villa Vals

The story behind Switzerland's award-winning project Villa Vals and how the project came to be with all of its structural and environmental

I have earlier covered this project. Villa Vals in Switzerland is perfect for its location.

"The overall transitional journey of the villa takes visitors from an authentic, primitive barn to a contemporary unobscured, and welcoming house. The architect transformed the barn into the villa’s entrance, leaving its walls, floor, and ceiling in its original state. The contemporary intervention begins with the completely-bare concrete tunnel that leads to the new house, perforated with skylight openings that bring in natural light. At the end of the tunnel, a concave glass facade opens up to the surrounding landscape, framing Vals’ scenery yet harboring the visitors with local quartzite stone. As for the interior, the architect delicately composed the circulation and bedroom placement to make sure every room received its fair share of natural light and panoramic views."

Villa Vals, Switzerland

by Bjarne Mastenbroek and Christian Müller

Villa Vals is perhaps something like the modern version of Petra. The whole villa was built into the mountain and the forecourt was taken from the mountain.
