A Contemporary Zigzag Dwelling in Switzerland

An amusing zigzag of concrete roof appears to sit on nothing but glass atop this interesting house in Switzerland.

The building, from Switzerland-based SimmenGroup accomodates multiple families in contemporary style.

The design succeeds in avoiding the “production-line look” of most multiple family dwellings; each family has a unique vantage point.

The iconic building measures almost 7,000 sq. ft.

Each of the units within the whole is spacious and airy, with bold contemporary design.

Massive cabinetry, here for a double sink, manages to be imposing and yet precise, neither more than less than is needed.

Switzerland’s fresh clean air can be enjoyed during an al fresco brunch.

As night falls, a golden glow emanates from the extensive glass facades above while a clever outdoor lighting design below preserves the privacy within by illuminating pools and waterfalls closer to sightlines.
