The project is conceived based on a previous experience in Switzerland, incorporating materials associated with the quality of wood, as well as finishes and insulation solutions typical of an alpine environment. Petit-Suisse can be understood as a reduction of these parameters, articulated through a spatial and chromatic composition that refers to these precedents.
The project’s structure is organized through a division between the daytime and nighttime areas, articulated by a series of elements that mediate the relationship between the kitchen, living room, and dining room, as well as two bedrooms intended for a mother and her child. Between these two realms, an intermediate element is introduced that simultaneously divides and organizes the whole.
This S-shaped wall structures both visual and circulation relationships between the different spaces, while also providing the project with a unitary character. The colored elements reinforce this condition, establishing a cohesive reading of the whole and allowing the project to be understood as both a plastic and architectural composition.
