Set in the agricultural surroundingsof the village of Full-Reuenthal, LUMO Architekten AG (Döttingen) has designeda single-family home with simple, contemporary lines.
It is made up of two parallel 2-storey volumes with gables, staggered and linked by a single-storey central module.
Their concrete structure is covered by a highly cohesive ventilated envelope. Perforated at the level of certain openings and with no visible overhanging eaves or downpipes, it is made of VMZINC® panels in PIGMENTO® red.
While the width and profile of the slats differentiate the two volumes, the monochrome rendering of the façades has, according to the architect, ensured that the building is visually integrated into its natural environment. This primarily aesthetic choice is reinforced by the material’s durability and ease of maintenance.
