Zufferey House is prefab farm house was designed by Nunatak Sàrl Architectes located in Wallis, Switzerland. This house built on 182 sqm constructed areas with mountain views and farm land for landscape. Designed with unique inspiration and the house design like a stone block lying on the ground in a fragile balance. It is covered with a skin of natural slates. Do you want leave on there? So naturally home conditions…

The repartition of the familial functions does not follow the usual” best” orientation in that part of the Wallis. The outside extensions of the main living area, like terrace and garden, are located on the east and south sides so that to prevent family life from western wind and hot summer temperature.

For economic reasons and comfort, the house was erected with a prefabricated wood framework with an interior coating in painted wood particle panels and protected from outside with an insulation coat and numerous ranges of slates placed in the same way to the roof’slope. Roof and floor structure are in “massive” fir planks keeping their natural aspect. The flooring is composed by a grey and rough concrete screed directly applicated on the slab. Choice and implementation of the materials were systematically simplified so that to reduce the costs that a shape of sophistication would have increased.
