-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- VILLA VALS by SeARCH & CMA


Architects: SeARCH & CMA
Location: Vals, Switzerland
Project Year: 2009
Photographs: Iwan Baan

The intension was an un-obstructive development of a structure that does not look residential. The villa is fully embedded in the landscape. Access is provided via an existing wooden barn, located on a lower level of the mountain. An underground tunnel, slightly absurd, will lead to the main programme situated in a circular cut made in the mountain slope. The presence of the villa in the landscape is thus limited to minimum. The view from the villa looks over the narrow mount valley of Vals and its dramatic surrounding scenery.
