Panoramic Villa Eastern Switzerland

At the edge of a larch forest, a residence was created that unites tradition and modernity in a distinctive way. Clad in dark shingles, the architecture blends harmoniously into its natural surroundings while opening up with clear lines and generous spaces.

Floor-to-ceiling air-lux window fronts define the living experience: framing sweeping views over the valley, Lake Constance, and as far as Lindau, while seamlessly drawing the landscape into the interior. To the south, the living area extends onto a sheltered terrace facing the forest clearing, while the expansive glazing floods the interiors with light and creates a sense of openness and freedom.

Scope of air-lux

  • 9 manual air-lux sliding windows(room heights up to 2,9m)
  • All-glass corners, all-glass interior fall protection
  • tilt and turn windows
