In Pully Switzerland, near Lausanne and Lake Geneva, this new residential building by LOCALARCHITECTURE houses three apartments, including a triplex apartment for the owner. Distinctive and autonomous, the ovoid form favours south-facing living rooms with views towards the lake.

Sectional organization is key to the design. The rear section of each apartment accommodates the bedrooms, where the ceiling height is minimized. By contrast, the living rooms are generously sized, with views over Lake Geneva. Several steps separate the living area from the sleeping area, allowing for the differing internal ceiling heights and a sense of separation, but also ultimately accommodating a service floor for a hot tub on the penthouse terrace.
