With the «Culauna» project, the Trü area in Scuol will be upgraded and better connected to the main axis – from the «Stradun» to the railway station. The existing leisure facilities – open-air swimming pool, curling track and park – will be strengthened with a multi-purpose hall, a grandstand, a lookout tower and an open space for events. Towards the south, the area is supplemented with an elevated residential building. The structure nestles on the edge of the slope and follows the rising topography.

The flexible flats, limited to the minimum, create attractive, affordable living space for young people and families. The apartments have different sizes, and the room configuration allows different setups from bigger and more open rooms to small and closed units. On the ground floor, where mainly common housing rooms or public spaces are conceived, the relationship to the landscape is maintained by allowing a view to its surroundings at any moment. Forming an end of the chain, a head building is formed facing the existing kindergarten. This house accommodates community rooms and coworking spaces as well as a wood workshop. The whole ensemble frames the site of «Trü» in a very decent way and gives a new quality to this open and blank space. The construction is conceived out of wood with a colored wooden cladding. The structure is simple and repetitive, could be modular or even temporary. The chosen expression with this lightness doesn’t necessarily correspond with the style of the traditional Engadine houses with their heavy, plastered and sculptural facades, but it refers to the modern buildings on the site from the architect Max Ernst Haefeli.
