K M Architektur with offices in Austria, Germany and Switzerland designed this charming woodclad home with a very Scandinavian touch in Weinfelden, Thurgau, Switzerland.

The house is clad in locally harvested natural white pine, arranged in a crisscross pattern reminiscent of a quilt.

The master bedroom is a study of simplicity wrapped in white pine the cantilevered bed platform and headboard wall niche.

The wood cladding continues inside and out, creating a seamless transition between the interior and exterior of the house.

Although the house itself is quite narrow – the deck outside gives the sense that the space is larger.

A wood stove in the living area is part of the sustainability of this nordic home.

This central stove creates a partition in the living room.

Other ecological items include a solar hot water system and geo thermal heating.

The hallway goes along one long side of the house.

The long deck on the other side overlooks the mountains of Switzerland and Austria.

The house appears to float above the ground, its chunky volumes, like a child’s blocks, balanced just so with care.

With its clean cut blonde pine and white, the Wohnhaus is almost the epitome of Scandinavian design.
