Location: Pontresina, Switzerland
Size: 1,192 m2
Budget: 4.5M. CHF
On Pontresina’s southern edge in the historic Laret quarter, this compact, terraced building sits between Engadin mountain views and the protective northern slope, anchored by an existing larch grove. A lime-plastered podium and carved larch cladding reinterpret local craft while softening the volume into the village roofscape. Ten homes (600 m²) mix 2-, 3- and 4-room units plus two flexible “joker” rooms, with courtyards and terraces that support everyday community. Calm, adaptable, SIA 500-compliant layouts are paired with a hybrid concrete/CLT structure, high-performance envelope, heat pump with district connection, and rooftop PV for low-carbon longevity.
