s’Benkle vorem Huus

Schaan, Liechtenstein, 2025

How can housing become an adaptable framework for shared life? In 2025 the municipality of Schaan held a competition for affordable housing for young families on its land In der Egerta. With Dominic Spalt Architektur we entered “s’Benkle vorem Huus”, a compact timber house with six apartments of 119 m². Movable lightweight walls let each apartment adapt to its household, with 2.5 to 5.5 rooms. The jury awarded the entry third prize out of 17 and singled out the south-facing circulation and balcony zone as a shared space.
