Single-family Home in Küsnacht

This family residence with a view of the Lake of Zürich is perched majestically on the range of hills called Küsnachterberg. The generously designed single-family home has been delicately embedded in the surrounding terrain.  As far away as from the lake, the eye is attracted by the floating, all-spanning roof.  Toward the south, a fantastic panorama opens up from the high rooms onto the Lake of Zürich and the Alps through a wide glass facade.  The various outdoor terraces create a wide variety of interactions between the inside and the outside of the building, enriching everyday living. The new outdoor spaces form a private park with the existing orchard.
