Haus Annalisa
Peter Zumthor
Leis, Switzerland
Annalisa’s Wooden house is
built in Leis, a small hamlet on the valley slope above Vals village, situated
1526m above sea level.
A winding pleasant path
connects Vals with the village of Leis. The Barroque Chapel of St. Nicolas at
the highest point in the hamlet as a reference point ,outstands among volumes
and folded roofs.
The ground plan of the house
is cross-shaped. On the ground floor where one enters the house, there is an
ample room for many guests: children, grandchildren, friends.
The personal living area is
on the second floor. A large dining table stands in the centre of the house;
grouped around it are the living area that looks out over the entire valley,
the kitchen, the bedroom accessed by three steps via a narrow passage and, in
front of the dining table, the hall with the large terrace facing southwest.
These four rooms are opened
to the landscape like panorama platfomrs.
It is unavoidable to make a
reference to Haus Luzi (located in Jenaz, Switzerland, and built in 2002) which
formally has many similarities. The completely glazed room with balconies also
face all four directions. The views of the landscape framed by the rooms are
impressive: pictures of the village, pictures of the landscape, the seasons
passing by.
