Located in a small hamlet in the heights of Bruson, this mayen—a traditional Swiss mountain hut or cottage typically made of stone and wood, often used as a seasonal or year-round residence in alpine regions—was close to collapse when it was purchased with the intention of being transformed by a couple who fell in love with the area. Previously, there was no basement, and the mayen rested directly on the ground. To make it habitable, a masonry foundation was constructed, and an extension was added at the rear, upstream, which houses two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a technical room. Upstairs, the approximately 35 square meters available were entirely dedicated to the living space and multiple storage areas. Inside, the chosen materials alternate between modernity and tradition, with a prominent use of larch. A fitted wall cleverly solves the layout of the living area by integrating the kitchen, storage, and a reading nook.
