Mono-crystalline type of house
The implosion of the landscape continues inside the house. There are neither service hallways nor a truly habitable center. The rooms adjoin each other and create a structure as though four houses had been compressed into a conglomerate from the outside and the concrete supports were left behind as joints whose fusion process can still be seen. Later on, Herzog & de Meuron gave a detailed description of this mono-crystalline type of house in their design for a development in Sils/ Engadine."

What is the relationship of the houses to the landscape?
Sils-Cuncas is a group of houses. As in a village-Isola, for example, or, at a higher altitude, Grevasalvas the houses seem to be placed coincidentally in the landscape. In spite of their comparatively high and heavy cubes, they form a nearly romantic, somehow familiar building composition.
Perhaps this first glance, this first impression formed by a person traveling by in a bus or car or on cross-country skis is not so wrong and, especially from an urban architectural and landscape design point of view, not so uninteresting: houses grouped together to form a settlement that under closer observation, upon second, more critical inspection reveals itself as an independent reflexive settlement structure.
[...]
Simplified, Engadine architectural typology can be understood as a combination of single, finished monocrystalline cells into more or less homogeneous classical architecture in which the single cell relinquishes its outwardly visible independence or as a combination tending toward a more or less heterogeneous architecture in which, as in a stone conglomerate, the single component, the single space or the single architectural element remains visible.

The three-story building
"The three-story building has been conceived as a strictly geometric abstract structure. It's cruciform concrete skeleton determines the layout, axionometry and section, and creates a modular entity which seems to be able to reach further out into the landscape when required..."

En la casa de piedra se nos presentan tres espacios diferenciados: terreno sin edificar, interior de la vivienda y una zona que relaciona las dos anteriores. A su vez en el interior existe una zona de vivienda (planta baja y superior comunicadas entre si) y un semisotano independiente y con acceso propio.
