These three terraced houses are built in one of Switzerland’s most sought-after locations, on the slopes overlooking Lake Zurich. Exploiting this position to the full, the design features a piano-nobile-style street facade, split-level organisation and a variety of outdoor spaces, each with its own character. Sheltered from view at the rear is a courtyard-like terrace, with steps leading to a kitchen balcony. A large roof terrace affords a panoramic view of the lake. The use of canopies, openwork parapets and screens gives an air of lightness to this compact ensemble.
