Casa Cubo

Switzerland

The designer has been able to skillfully balance physical and immaterial elements, wood and stone light and sound.

The interior spaces, cozy through the use of stone and wood have plenty of natural light and they frame extensive views over the landscape. The sound element plays a key role as well, both in its materiality, with the travertine Spheres in the living room, and in its immateriality, defining a bubble of sound around the home-cinema area by using the Small Helmets, AS highly directional sound modules. The wellness-solarium area, despite being underground, is pervaded with natural light through large skylights emerging from the snow; the combination of the Cylinder directional modules in Zebrino marble and of the Drop over the pool defines a highly natural sound space that helps creating the feeling of actually being sunbathing outdoor.

The “Casa Cubo” is nestled in a hillside, in a leading and wonderful location, overlooking the alpine mountain range. A great eye over the landscape, the house is a volume that dematerializes so to be perceived in all its lightness despite the materiality that characterizes it.
