HOUSE

House on House investigates how urban spaces can be densified in the medium term. While the building will eventually be replaced by a new construction due to the higher possible utilisation of the plot, the structure on top can remain alive and move elsewhere.

Based on the traditional chalet— one of the earliest forms of modular construction in Switzerland—the dilapidated upper part is removed while the solid base remains. In reference to the chalet, the top structure is replaced by a modular construction that can be disassembled and reassembled in a new location.

A prototype for the potential reincarnation “In my Backyard.”
