Der Kokon

“All along the eastern shore.. put your circuits in the sea. Because this is what the world is for, making electricity. Oh, you can feel it in your mind. Oh, you can feel it all the time. Plug it in and change the world. Oh, you’re my electric girl.”

Architects CMA and SeARCH were focusing on the question if it would be possible to conceal a house in an Alpine slope while still exploiting the wonderful views and allowing light to enter the building when planing the Villa Vals. They decided to build a central patio into the steep incline to create a large facade with considerable potential for window openings. The viewing angle from the building is slightly inclined, giving a dramatic view of the beautiful mountains on the opposite side of the narrow valley.
