Situated on the picturesque slopes of Charmey, Switzerland, "3 Tiny Houses On The Slope" embodies the client's vision of architecture that emphasizes simplicity, craftsmanship, sustainability, and authenticity. The design features a timber frame construction complemented by solid wood slabs and a distinctive burnt wood facade, known as yakisugi, which is notable for its lack of interior cladding. With a minimal footprint of 4 meters by 10 meters, the project is designed to have a low environmental impact, carefully maintaining the proportions characteristic of traditional wooden constructions. Unlike most architectural endeavors that conform to the contour lines of the landscape, this project is oriented perpendicularly to the slope. This orientation fosters an airy atmosphere across the three distinct volumes, allowing for the preservation of green corridors and the permeability of the village, thus enhancing the overall ecological integrity of the area.
