Single Family Residence in Switzerland – Transformation à Charrat by Clavienrossier Architects

Home » Small House Project » Single Family Residence in Switzerland – Transformation à Charrat by Clavienrossier Architects

Built this 2010, this Swedish single family house is a home remodeling project from a previous building. The final architecture, includes an adjacent barn and had a too vast volume to be renewed in its totality. Only elements which can easily be reused were preserved, cellars and floors of the previous house. The rest was eliminated.

Volumes of visible tinted concrete replaced the double-sided roof and the transformed area. The big openings so created allow the light to penetrate more generously. The geometry of the superstructures results both from a formal desire and from a will to remove the wall thickness. The various-slopes faces enhance that highly varied game of the shadows throughout the day. There are no corridors.

Circulation is made along the external wall, from room to room. The overall view continues beyond the windows, opening onto the surrounding landscape.

Woodworking is a piece of cake …

With tons of blueprints (over 16,000!) for different furniture designs and outdoor woodwork projectsyou can have a great insight into how to build different things with wood. In it, they tell you about wood, how to design projects, the detailed photographs, patterns, blueprints, materials list and step by step instructions on how to put build them.

The second part shows you the different tools and how to use them, and a complete guide to woodwork carpentry. And the color photographs and drawings are beautiful and show a lot of detail.
