This house in Leymen, on the border of France and Switzerland, is one of my all-time favourites. I love the simplicity of its silhouette – like a child’s drawing of a house. The tar-board roof and concrete facades meet each other seamlessly without an overhang. The whole thing is raised up on a plinth, lightening its appearance and literally elevating the architecture beyond the mundane.
