the client

"My Work is not cool, dry and rational, it is wet, warm and emotional."

"I communicate my ideas to them through drawings and through conversation.
I have to trust those people a lot, and be able to communicate with them easily. they need to understand me.
In some ways it is like a Write/director of a film, who works with a crew os people to realize their vision.“

Patricia Piccinini

the spaces

The analysis of the artist led to the idea of giviing her three independet spaces to live and work in.

„The elevator constantly changes the shape of the building.
A machine is its heart.“
Rem Koolhaas

The first space is the exhibition and collaboration area. It faces south and is buried into the hill to keep the climate cool
although having a glass facade.
the elevator starts at ground
level and is the access to the third space.



The second Space is the living area. It faces East from the
Morning balcony and west from the evening balcony to take
Advantage of the beautiful light at these times.
The roof of the first space is used as a pool that is accessible thru the bath and bedroom.



The third space offers views to north, east and south. the client can observe the surrounding nature from the deck and work on her drawings and paintings in the spacious studio.
The enclosed space between the studio and the exhibition area inhabits the library.



The location of the pool and the balcony in front of the bedroom creates an intimate space for the client to relax.

the site

The site was chosen because of the untouched nature around and the beautiful views that the hill offers.
