The village centre of Mathon has until this day kept itself safe, modest, without fatal sins. The old barn is decaying and useless. However its demolition would lead to a void in a decisive position in the village’s fabric. For the preservation of the barn and its spatial qualities: An Alpine Loft for working and being and role models that exist from faraway; most likely Japanese.
