A three-storey detached house is located in the Rhine Valley near St. Gallen on a constrained triangular site close to the historic village center. The home is designed for four people and balances scale, orientation, and privacy within a compact footprint. Contemporary domestic architecture is expressed through spatial clarity and a clear internal organization. Prefabricated timber construction supports efficient building and a low-impact approach. The project integrates contemporary design goals with practical site constraints, using careful planning to fit the house into the limited available area while maintaining residential comfort and privacy.
