Located
in the countryside of Switzerland, the Crooked House was designed by Fovea
Architects. The residence stands out with its sharply angled façade. Facing
south, the angled upper volume was developed as a way to balance the need for
privacy and light.
Upon the rectangular first floor, the second level is
inclined at a 40 degree angle, adding a cozier feeling to the outdoor patio
below.
Filled with large windows this façade fills the interior with light and
avoids facing other villas being built in the near future. The home was
prefabricated and is clad in painted pine planks that allow it to blend in with
the rural architecture of the area. The home’s form also borrows the image and
function of the eaves found in local farmhouses.
