Alpamyr House by Sandro Durrer

A new intergenerational house, Alpamyr, designed by Sandro Durrer, is set to be completed in 2025 in Amden, Switzerland. The project emphasizes sensitive integration into its natural surroundings.

The house is situated as the final structure before an expansive raised bog, occupying a unique landscape position. It is designed as an intergenerational home for two families.

Characterized by its low profile, Alpamyr is intended to blend quietly and unobtrusively into the natural terrain, despite its significant size.

The design incorporates two autonomous living units, aiming to support both independent living and communal interaction across different life stages.

Strategically positioned openings are incorporated to frame views of the surrounding landscape, fostering a connection between the interior spaces and the natural environment.

The house aims to provide secluded spaces that offer panoramic views, balancing a sense of connection with the outdoors and a feeling of protection.
