Haus Trub
Haus Trub is designed by Agps Architecture (Marc Angehl, Sarah Graham, Manuel Scholl, Reto Henninger, Hanspeter Oester). The design of Haus Trub in Horgen, Switzerland took inspiration from conceptual artist Gordon Matta Clark who enlisted remnants from abandoned buildings. In his method of art making, Matta Clark sought out a culinary analogy. He experimented with the application of three culinary operations including “Selection” whereby ingredients are separated from their settings, “Preparation” in which each substance undergoes a variety of transformations; and “Cooking” which includes the elements of flame and time utilized in such techniques as charring. From these methods, agps Architecture defined the rudiments of space, volume, site, organization, and construction for Haus Trub.

The method culminates in a unique design marked by a horizontal exterior volume which, by and large, relies on a modernist language. Extensive glazed areas on the home’s exterior unveil a space which has been sliced up inside, thereby revealing the application of Matta Clark’s train of thought.
