The residential and commercial building develops out of a focused observation of the direct vicinity, the specific geometry and topography of the property, the morphology of the Bitsch community, and also the wide-open perspective of the landscape and cultural characteristics of the Rhône valley. The building presents itself as a point building that is inserted into the village structure and refers, with its crystalline form, to the Alpine-dominated landscape. Inside, a multi-winged spatial figure unfolds, thereby providing daylight to the monolithic building, while also making contextual references. The choice of the surfaces plastered with lime putty revives a local building tradition.
