This former barn constructed of rubble masonry is in the center of the village of ollon, which is densely built-up. The ground floor is a single space, broken up by a utility area. The living room is to the west, next to the entrance, and the main bedroom, which is on a slightly higher level, is to the east. This difference in levels between the living area and the sleeping area reduces the spatial impact of the utility area on the sleeping area and gives the sitting room some height. The floor line is the same as that of the present sloping floor and is therefore compatible with the existing wall openings.
