The Inverted Farmhouse is a contemporary architectural intervention that reconsiders the future of rural heritage in Switzerland. By reversing the original domestic and agricultural functions of a 19th century farmhouse, the project transforms the former barn into a new dwelling while converting the original house into a greenhouse dedicated to permaculture. Through a timber structural grid aligned with the existing roof framework, the inserted living volume remains embedded within the logic of the historic structure. Intermediate spaces emerge as productive and social thresholds, redefining the relationship between living, cultivation, and architectural memory.
