Experimental

A cool breeze, flip flops, a light dress blowing in the wind, the sun staring you in the face while you try to catch a stripe of shade. That is the feeling of summer — a certain lightness of being. Heavy things, dense things, complex things — those may well be the most beautiful parts of life, but they belong to another season, don’t they?
Now is the time for openness. For things to run freely. For blank canvases filled with splashes of unforgettable memories.

That’s the aim of this structure: to be as light as it is almost not there.
Dancing between the fences. Playing hide and seek.
Changing its appearance with the sun’s shadows — a fleeting presence, like any of us in summertime. Surrounded by nature. Naked in its structure. Wearing only what is strictly necessary to close off what not everyone should see.

Because, you know, in the end, this isn’t even a building.
It’s a fence.
A fence like the ones that line beach dunes — always there to protect, never to separate.
Not a barrier, but a whisper. So light it’s almost invisible. A magical element that somehow brings together privacy and openness — two things that so rarely coexist.

The architecture embraces lightness and transparency. It opens itself to nature, letting it take centre stage.
This openness called for a construction method rooted in familiarity, wood, like the bathing cabins found along Swiss lakes. On one hand, this creates a phenomenological connection, evoking a place we already seem to know. On the other hand, it ensures economic simplicity.

That same efficiency drives the structural logic:
a pragmatic grid of 5x5 metre concrete columns, setting a cost-effective and rational framework — nothing more, nothing less.
