At the entrance to the village of Lü, the sunny terrace of the Münster Valley, lies at 1920 m above sea level in an unobstructed, sunny location, the single-family house built in 2007.
The two architects Linard Andri and Ivan Zangerle from Müstair sought a way between tradition and contemporary form and inserted a "wooden drawer" into the southeast facade, which frames the mountain panorama but cannot be opened. This facade can heat almost the entire house. A geothermal probe and a 40-centimeter-thick Einstein masonry take care of the rest. The arrangement of the windows with their irregular funnels reinterprets the architectural tradition in a new way without being ingratiating. The strong tricolor coloring also provides a contrast: red facade, white window reveals, green entrance area.
Inside, the house is traditionally designed, with larch doors, a visible attic, and a small larch room with a barrel-vaulted oven.
