人口结构的发展对我们建筑师提出了挑战，不仅要产生更紧凑的建筑方案，而且要在我们的住宅中引入当代宜居的新方法。一旦空间能够满足居民的不同需求，一个社区就能和谐地运作。在Müller-Gamboni的房子里，三个住宅单元像一个魔方一样交织在一起，将三代人团结在一个屋檐下。该地区位于历史悠久的小镇Weinfelden，以郊区住宅为特色。
The demographic development challenges us architects, not only to generate more compact building solutions but to also introduce a new approach for contemporary livability within our homes. A community can function in harmony, once space can fulfill the differing needs of its inhabitants. In the house of Müller-Gamboni three residential units intertwine like a Rubik’s cube, uniting three generations under one roof. Located in the historic town of Weinfelden, the area is characterized by its residential suburbia.
建筑的强烈的立方体形式反映了它作为一个紧凑而高效的外壳的功能。细密的网格像一层薄薄的幕布一样覆盖在东西向的外墙上，支撑着一个宁静的垂直花园。藤蔓被小心翼翼地摆放着，创造出视野开阔的窗户，同时也是由美丽的物种组成的遮蔽性过滤器。
The strong cubic form of the building reflects its function as a compact and efficient shell. A fine grid coats the east-to-west facade like a thin curtain, supporting a peaceful vertical garden. The vines are placed carefully creating windows with wide views, whilst functioning as a sheltering filter made up of a beautiful selection of species.
透过窗帘仔细观察，可以发现里面的生活空间组织得非常复杂。一楼的老人公寓有自己的入口，而单身公寓和两层楼的家庭公寓则从二楼的共享楼梯进入。所有单元均从建筑北侧进入，显得封闭。延伸的室外生活区沿东西向水平分布，每层楼的垂直分布，使其具有最佳的朝向和私密性。房屋为木质结构，底层为实心砖。
A closer look through the curtain indicates the complexity of the accurately organized living spaces within. While the ground floor apartment for the elderly has its own entry, the bachelor’s pad and two-story family apartment are entered through a shared stairway up on the second floor. All units are accessed from the north side of the building, which appears closed. The extending outdoor living areas are spread horizontally along east to west and vertically on each floor to allow for optimal orientation and privacy. The house was built as a timber structure with a solid brick ground floor.
整个结构由垂直的原生木板条覆盖，烘托出绿幕的垂直方向。木头的材质性和绿化性柔化了密集形态的硬朗特征。作为Minergie-P-Eco建筑，Müller-Gamboni的房子符合最高的可持续发展标准。所有的材料都是经过精心挑选的，以达到低排放的目的。自给自足的程度为40%，而其能源生产量超过年消耗量的66%。例如，一辆电动汽车可以利用多余的能源行驶30.000公里。
The whole structure is cladded by vertical native wooden slats, which underline the vertical direction of the green curtain. The materiality of the wood and the greening softens the hard character of the dense form. As a Minergie-P-Eco building, the house of Müller-Gamboni meets the highest sustainability standards. All materials are selected carefully to be certified low in emissions. The degree of self-sufficiency is 40%, while its energy production exceeds the annual consumption by 66%. An electric-car for example could get as far as 30.000km with this energy surplus.
