A strong implant amidst the traditional village located high above the valley bottom. The small compact construction on a former warehouse site gives a present-day answer to the neighborhood’s sturdy old buildings. Like a cliff coming into view through wind and water, the gray-plastered house rises through the vectors of leveling and distance measurements, boundaries of properties and functions, resembling crystal cut angularly on all sides. The interior is amazing in its open rooms, diverse views and vistas. On the crooked slope, the free-standing structure is linked to the exterior level at four different places: a tourist inquiry office, café, multipurpose hall and exhibition room enjoying separate entrances.
