Seamless Integration: Natural Stone in Modern House Design

Project: House WI in Ascona Architect: Wespi de Meuron Romeo Architects Photo: Hannes Henz Location: 6612 Ascona, Ticino, Switzerland Emphasizing the steep landscape, the project integrates existing stone walls with new architectural elements, aiming for an optimal fusion. The house features a glass facade facing the mountain, allowing the rock to intertwine with the interior while creating a captivating reflective ambiance. Additionally, a stone-filtered valley facade serves as sun protection, evoking an ancient ruin's atmosphere. Overall, the design merges exterior and interior spaces cohesively, forming a unified visual entity with convenient rooftop additions. #housedesign #housedesignideas #homedesign #homedesignideas
