Maracon House by Localarchitecture

Despite my love of NYC. part of me has always dreamt of a simple log cabin planted somewhere on a snowy mountain. However, as I have gotten older my taste has evolved to a more minimalist style, making a typical rustic cabin made of stacks of felled trees not as appealing. Sensing this turmoil in my life (or I like to believe), Swiss architects Localarchitecture designed the Maracon house. Part mountainous log cabin, part chic rustic-contemporary estate, the Maracon house is an ideal combination of mountain living mixed with a modern appeal. Complete with a full glass wall, to take in the breathtaking views of the winter wonderland that is Maracon, Switzerland. The Maracon house was designed to fit the scale of of the existing farmhouses surrounding it, while blending into the landscape both around and on the footpath of the structure.

The project is inspired from traditional architectural forms and codes and is reinterpreted to the use of the building and to contemporary esthetics. The form of the building nestles itself in the topography of the ground and inscribes itself in the landscape.
