House Extension Im Wygaertli by Beck Oser Architects

The extension connects to one of the existing buildings on the east side and, through its independent form, creates a new whole consisting of three distinct structures. It adopts the existing building’s height, construction, and appearance, but not its orientation. It faces the forest, a fact emphasized by the floor-to-ceiling windows that dominate the space. At the junction between the extension and the house, a staircase leads directly into the garden, which is enhanced with a seating area and new landscaping. Its natural character and organic forms create a deliberate contrast to the clean geometry of the terrace.
