The village of Mathon is situated in the Beverin Nature Park whith its unique, wild landscape, thus creating a special challenge for the architecture.
The building was set without a basement directly on the already existing foundation and aligned in such a way that every room had superb views of the Alps.
The architects’ task was to design a very functional “guest house" with strong attention to detail, while maintaining respectful interaction with the environment.
To obtain maximum living space, the planning incorporated a minimal traffic area.
The half a meter thick masonry did not require additional insulation and, together with the regional materials, provides for sustainable construction, while also ensuring a pleasant room climate.
