During the realisation of the house on Bürgenstock, office haratori GmbH focused on natural and local building materials. As a weather-resistant building material for the exterior, local gravel was to be bound with trass lime. Together with office haratori GmbH, Lehmag AG was able to develop the corresponding aesthetics with local resources and then install it. The local mixture was stamped into a local formwork and the surface was deliberately kept simple.
