Modern Home Renovation in the Swiss Alps, a Fantastic Mix of Natural

We really enjoy seeing homes in which nature elements are integrated. Today’s home was renovated by Christian Speck of Formzone and has a particular and genuine charm. Located in a beautiful village in the Swiss Alps, this house combines modern design aspects with amazing rustic elements, creating an unparalleled atmosphere. Some of the rooms of these house are entirely contemporary, without any uncommon addition- while others have stone walls integrated and wooden rustic elements. Some of the doors are absolutely fascinating, reminding of the world as we know it from decades ago. The terrace is a place where the owners can enjoy the amazing views of the Alps, while having their breakfast at the beginning of the day. What does this home make you think about?

Modern Remodel Of The Post War Split Level House Into A Five Level House

This modern remodel is a remodel of post war split-level house into a comfortable living place which provides space for all everyday tasks like listing to music, catching up on e-mail, cooking, doing laundry and hanging out with family and friends. The stair was open up, the roof was raised and the fifth level was added to accommodate all activities the owner wanted to.
The exterior of the house is clad in low-maintenance fiber-cement siding with stained wood accents and inexpensive thermal-break aluminum windows. The interior is also done in mostly natural materials and steel. It is also is designed to be quite transparent in order to give some space for displaying art and some opportunities to catch outside views from all around the house. [DeForest Architects]
