Architecture studio Celoria Architects finishes House C, which is a concrete home located in Mendrisio, Switzerland. The home is defined by its cellar-like communal area which is meant to serve local cuisine. It is designed specifically for Aldo Celoria, founder of the studio. The foundation of the house was a traditional cellar and dining space visited by the family. House C features four concrete walls along the square plan -- all of these are complete with wavy sections of concrete walls.
Founder of the studio Aldo Celoria speaks about the history of the home, stating "This was the place where we used to go as children for lunch or dinner with friends or to sit in front of the fireplace and eat chestnuts. The project arose with the idea of maintaining this spirit of conviviality and designing a house as if it were a grotto in relation to the surrounding nature."
