Sliding patio doors help bring the garden into this cool Swiss home

The original house on this plot in the St. Gallen canton of Switzerland was due to be renovated, but when that plan was torn up, and a new property commissioned, architects Juan Gonzalez and Ruben Daluz were given free rein – the result is this sumptuous private home.

Sliding patio doors help bring the garden into this cool Swiss home

Constructed from three staggered boxes to maximise views of the surrounding countryside, the house uses large sliding patio doors fitted with a low threshold to enhance the impression that the garden and mountains beyond are simply an extension of the downstairs living space.
