London and Lugano-based DF_DC has created a L-shaped ‘pyramid’ house in Locarno, Switzerland
The practice, founded in 2016 by Dario Franchini and Diego Calderon, has completed a 247m² concrete house at the end of a cul-de-sac between several detached houses and accompanying vineyards in Tegna, Switzerland.

The house’s mass is pitched, carved out by the garage and folded roofscape, creating a pyramid-like form which is also L-shaped in plan.
Internally, a threshold contains a gym and garage, opening out to the lounge, kitchen and dining areas which look out to a garden to the south and west.
