House B is a minimalist residence located in Staefa, Switzerland, designed by E2A. Two new inner exterior spaces arise – an entry courtyard and a courtyard garden. In between, there’s the part of the house with the main entrance and a garden apartment. Across is the upper floor with a terrace and view of the adjacent empty space and the lake and the mountains in the distance. Around the central kitchen are the dining room and a two-storey living room with a studio quality and light from the northeast. All rooms lead directly to the terrace. A staircase provides access back to the courtyard garden.
