Terraced Housing in Küsnacht

These three terraced houses are built in one of Switzerland’s most sought-after locations, on the slopes overlooking Lake Zurich. Exploiting this position to the full, the design features a piano-nobile-style street facade, split-level organisation and a variety of outdoor spaces, each with its own character. Sheltered from view at the rear is a courtyard-like terrace, with steps leading to a kitchen balcony. A large roof terrace affords a panoramic view of the lake. The use of canopies, openwork parapets and screens gives an air of lightness to this compact ensemble. At the front ramps lead up from the public zone to the private, past miniature meadows planted on the garage roofs.
