Sommerhaus, Switzerland




This classically modern pavilion perches elegantly on the edge of a picturesque river in Kanton Thurgau, shielded from nearby houses by a stand of tall trees. Set back just a short distance from the water's edge, behind reeds and grasses, this summer house is intended for quiet contemplation.
Consisting of an open plan living space on the ground floor, with a terrace set beneath the oversailing first floor, the house is a simple box, albeit with a few unusual design details that set it apart from the everyday.
