SAXON

The project of the alternative community centre for Saxon, Switzerland, aims at finding a conceptual spatial solution for a high-density development to be seamlessly integrated into the landscape of the Rhône valley.Compositionally, it is a linear structure with layered functions. The most active public functions are placed within its front along the highway, while the housing and apartments “strip” gets more privacy from its location closer to the foot of the mountain. At the same time, the linear structure enables the requested multi-phased construction.
