Casa Desgraz is a minimalist house located in Solduno, Switzerland, designed by studio inches architettura. The project deals with the local building laws applied to constructions in protected nucleus zone that do not allow existing openings to be modified or the typology of the roof to be changed. Due to these restrictions the structural envelope was not changed. The number of openings and their dimensions remain the same. The pitched roof, on the other hand, was raised by one meter in order to offer extra space in the living areas and refurbished following the construction techniques of the local typologies but at the same time applying a new aesthetic.
