Madeleine Architects converts pigsty into The Recipe house in Switzerland

Swiss architecture studio Madeleine Architectes has converted an old pigsty and clad it in lime and hemp to create the base of this house and office in Chavronay.
Named The Recipe, the home sits between a farm and a henhouse on a rural site close to the French border and is designed as a place of retirement for the parents of a large family.
