The site… The region—the Lake Leman (Lake of Geneva) where the terraced vines rise one above the other. If you were to place the walls that support them end on end, they would total 30,000 kilometres (three quarters of a trip round the world!). The vine growers certainly know their job! Their work is meant to last for centuries, perhaps for a thousand years.
This little house will shelter my father and mother in their old age, after a life of hard work. My mother is musician, my father a nature-lover. 1922, 1923 I hoarded the Paris-Milan express several times, or the Orient Express (Paris-Ankara). In my pocket was the plan of a house. A plan without a site? The plan of a house in search of a plot of ground? Yes!
The main points of the plan. First: the sun is to the south (that’s something!). The Lake spreads out to the south, backed by the hills. The Lake and the Alps mirrored in it are in front, lording it from east to west. That is some sort of setting for my plan: facing south, its length is a living-room four metres in depth, but sixteen metres long. The window, by the way, is eleven metres long (one window, mind you!).
