On a rare family plot in the heights of Montreux, 2 brothers wish to build 1 villa each, one with an apartment for the mother.
With shared rear access, the 2 villas benefit from unobstructed lake views, making this an ideal location.
The relatively restrictive regulations allow the architect to propose a contemporary design that blends in perfectly with its surroundings. The average south-facing slope does not hinder the layout, but it does force the buildings to be positioned at the top of the plot.
The volumes are simple yet functional, with a no-frills program. The balcony-loggias open onto the lake and offer continuity with the interior living spaces.
The clean, white facades characterize the volumes with simplicity and modernity.
