Row housing Forellenstube

Two new building rows complement the Forellenstube settlement, which was created on the village outskirts of Tamins in the 1980s, with their location, height, and roof shape defined by a district plan.

The type of two-story garden house interlocks the ground floor with the surroundings through loggia-like recesses. The tower house is a three-story, point-form unit that elevates the living space and outdoor area to the attic floor. The addition of the units is rhythmically organized by the strong recesses and captured into a sculptural whole. Inside, the brick of the load-bearing transverse walls and the concrete of the roof and walls with their raw surface characterize the spaces.
