Walensee contemporary house by k_m Architektur takes its hilly backdrop to heart with a design that simply floats high above Switzerland’s Lake Walen and the Churfursten mountains. This spectacular location is the essence of serenity, setting the stage for this sprawling 7,427 sq.ft. chalet style house of wood, glass and concrete. A wrap-around terrace hangs over the water, providing panoramic views and a seamless distinction between indoors and out via the sliding floor-to-ceiling glass doors encircling the home’s perimeter. Nature’s influences dominate interiors, with rustic wood floors and the views as the focal point in each room.
