Laure Fries Architecture
The architects. Kanna is a fishermen’s retreat, a cabin nestled on the shores of Marlens’ water body, offering tranquility and privacy away from prying eyes. Its triangular shape unfolds to reveal the panorama, safeguarding the majesty of the mountains. Standing at a height of 4.50 meters, it enables precise lure casting and effortless fishing. Poetic and practical, Kanna entices bothing enthusiasts and wanderers seeking escape.
The Marlens water body is gracefully positioned along the Chaise, a river nestled among mountains. The dynamic topography and verdant richness make the landscape of this valley immensely appealing. The elements of air and water are palpably experienced, whether one is following the river’s course or lingering by the water body. The mountain vistas are omnipresent, guiding our gaze as much toward the peaks as to their reflections in the water. Our initial intention is to propose a slender structure that does not obstruct the lofty views.
