The modern tradition of the architect is influenced very strongly there by the linear structure of a wooden construction and the typology of a single house. In traditional, as well as contemporary architecture, conditioned by the local climate there, a structure is built as compactly as possible and seeks only to find a balanced position within the terrain, but otherwise establishes a rather abrupt contrast between inside and outside. The architecture of Marte.Marte contradicts both of these fundamental principles, does this, however, with the same sobriety and consistency, as a superior component of Alemannic creativity would do. Marte.Marte work with monolithic, poured concrete planes as opposed to a carpenter‘s light, scaffolding-like structure. Unlike the solitary boxes of old and new houses in the region, they try to grasp the surroundings of buildings architecturally, to make them livable by creating a measured, shielded and staggered transition from the individual to the general. They do not merely replace the wooden box with a concrete box, it is much more the break-up of the classical block-like cube into shells full of angles and three-dimensional fragments of boxes. At the House in Röthis, for instance, living space was primarily developed by the use of walls of different heights, which shield the site from the rest of the large plot. The concrete walls begin by forming courts and lanes, and then consolidate to become the building itself on ground level, on top of which the bedrooms are situated in the form of an introverted wooden prism.
