lacroix chessex architectes finished the Maison aux Jeurs, a small retreat that overlooks Les Jeurs in Switzerland.

The materiality of the project, all in untreated fir trees, the spatiality made by small dimensions, the set of levels, windows centering particular elements from the landscape, the link with the ground and the mineral base, all these elements confer to the project an atmosphere close to the traditional chalets.
