Residential Complex Upper Part Lake Zurich

A Modern Country House
Year constructed: 2021

High above the upper part of Lake Zurich, a residential complex is taking shape that strikes a harmonious balance between coziness and openness while offering a high degree of privacy. On the spacious lot, the future residents envision a modern country home with a striking sloped roof that blends naturally into the landscape.

The village captivates visitors with its exceptional location and sweeping views across almost the entire Lake Zurich. The unique panoramic skyline conveys an atmosphere of lightness and vastness. At the same time, the views to the rear – of mountains, barns, woods and meadows – provide a soothing sense of being rooted in the cultural landscape and forge a strong connection to the village.

The residential complex comprises a main house, a guest house and an outbuilding. The ensemble is complemented by extensive gardens with a swimming pool. Architecturally, the complex has been designed as a country house with a contemporary twist. Meticulously crafted details characterise both the exterior and the interiors. A solid plinth of beige natural stone forms the base, above which rises a timber façade with fine vertical slats.

The stepped gable roof, with its slender eaves, lends the buildings an elegant silhouette and reinforces the link between contemporary architecture and regional building traditions. The result is a harmonious synthesis of modern expression, precision craftsmanship and site-specific building culture.
