建筑师拉尔夫·格曼的改造涉及在旧建筑中插入一个玻璃立方体，这意味着他不必触摸墙壁的帕蒂纳，还能保存屋顶和一些历史细节，如墙上的“最大负荷1500公斤/平方米”(最大负荷1500公斤/平方米)标志。

Architect Ralph Germann’s transformation involved inserting a glass cube into the old structure, an option which meant he didn’t have to touch the patina of the walls, and was able to preserve the roof and some historic details such as the “charge maximum 1500 kg au m2”[maximum load 1500 kg/m2] sign on the wall.

虽然希望保存这些证词，但建筑师只保留了简单的材料-高贵和坚实-包括落叶松，石板，玻璃和金属。他用干净、纯正的线条来诠释它们，给了小木屋一种永恒的感觉。为了避免陷入紧缩的气氛，拉尔夫·格曼在衣帽间的门后增加了一种意想不到的色彩：一种大胆的紫红色。

Whilst wishing to preserve this testimony to the past, the architect retained only simple materials – noble and solid – including larch, slate, glass and metal. And by interpreting them using clean, pure lines, he has given the chalet a timeless feel. To avoid sliding into an atmosphere of austerity, Ralph Germann has added an unexpected touch of colour behind the cloakroom door: a bold shade of fuchsia.

这种设计，功能高于一切，强调光和空间。为了达到第二个目标，建筑师设计了另一个立方体-但这次是用木头做的。设置在玻璃结构的中心，它容纳的WCS，橱柜，甚至床，这是折叠时，不使用。这使这一地区的空间优化，面积仅49平方米。

This design, functional above all else, places the emphasis on light and space. To achieve the second, the architect has designed another cube – but in wood this time. Set within the heart of the glass structure, it houses the WCs, cupboards, and even the bed, which folds up when not in use. This optimises space in this area, which measures only 49 m2.
