The vertical larch elements are not uniformly placed around the house, note the architects. “The wooden blades have different orientations. They are sometimes rotated—the spacing is not constant. They open up to let you see, and they hide and hide. They condition the internal relationship between inside and outside, and so the light vibrates and changes constantly on the outer skin of the house. It is a subtle and iridescent vibration, with the light of the Alps.”
