Flexhouse Residential building

Flexhouse

Flexhouse is a single-family home on Lake Zurich in Switzerland. Built on a challenging triangular plot of land, squeezed between the railway line and the local access road, Flexhouse is the result of overcoming many architectural challenges: restrictive boundary distances and building volume, triangular shape of the plot, restrictions regarding local vernacular. The resulting building with its wide walls of glass and a ribbon-like white façade is so light and mobile in appearance that it resembles a futuristic vessel that has sailed in from the lake and found itself a natural place to dock.

Flexhouse Residential building by Evolution Design was identified as an innovative example of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Flexhouse Residential building earned the Golden A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2017. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a highly prestigious, international, juried design recognition program that rewards outstanding design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
