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."
Sils-Cuncas Settlement Design
Sils, Engadin, Switzerland
Competition 1991
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..."
MACK, G. (Ed.), Herzog & de Meuron 1978-1988, Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel, 1997
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.

Stone House
Tavole, Italy
Project 1982, realization 1985-1988
Set in an undulating landscape of abandoned olive groves, the three-storey house stands on a promontory, engaging part of a former stone terrace. The design concept of the house is based on the fusion of plan, elevation and section. The building is characterized by a cross, made visible in the construction of the side walls where the in-fill dry stone comes in contact with the reinforced concrete frame. The structure occupies the centre on the “piano nobile“, while on the top floor spaces are more interconnected. Here, the house rises above the trees, giving a panoramic view through the vertically articulated strip windows. This notion of extension has its equivalent in the opposite direction with the raised terrace and its pergola-like enclosure. The external wall infills are of slate-like rubble stones, the window shutters are of steel sheets and the door and window linings are of split slate sheets. On the whole, the detailing is spare.

"En la Casa de Piedra (Tavole, Italia, 1982-1988), por el contrario, se utilizó mampostería de junta seca para la construcción de los muros exteriores. Con este recurso, inspirado en las ancestrales construcciones rurales del mundo mediterráneo, se consiguieron integrar en el paisaje colindante, hasta hacerlos casi desaparecer, los contundentes y racionalistas volúmenes del inmueble."
