We have built a place for the present that projects back into memory and forward into the future. From close up, it is a collection of many things and, from within, a world that changes with the passing of the time. The construction is used as a primary dwelling. It is designed as a volume enclosed by a set of concrete sects. Beginning as a cube and a square plan, these concrete blades are shifted three-dimensionally to open the space up to the Alpine landscape, while maintaining privacy. They seem as fragments, broken off from the medieval castle walls of Bellinzona.
