Starting from a cube with two faces split in half, the whole project revolves around the articulation of opposing pairs. The two larger facades open to distant views of the lake and the site; the two smaller ones are almost entirely blind, sheltering the entrance on the lower corner. Public areas share one half on its full height; while intimate ones are distributed on three levels of the other half, just large enough to accommodate the owners and their guests.

A long table made from a fallen larch uses almost all the groundfloor space, serving as dining table and kitchen unit. The two master bedrooms are on the first floor, sharing a corridor and facing each other, giving room to that delicate point where they cohabit separately. On the second floor a study room opens to the triple height. The roof shrinks to the very minimum one side of this floor, then opening to 5m on the other side.

Both interior and exterior are clad in raw timber slats stained one by one. The roughness and its unique shades of gray gives the house a timeless appearance, blending it with the always foggy mornings. A winding path connects two small ponds, passing through the house entrance and terrace, and continuing across the stream to a fire pit. Continuing through the trees will lead to a small bay in between the dense vegetation, where you get a first glimpse of the lake.
