Consistencies between the various store designs include one-story
spaces (typical of most supermarkets to make shopping and
stocking easier), generous glass areas, large opaque surfaces
(roofs and walls), and large, open interiors. These simple
considerations follow from M-Preis's sensitivity to the surroundings,
both natural and manmade. In Telfs, the facade facing the
roadway is translucent, both to reduce the southern sunlight
entering the space and to focus the view away from the roadway
to the opposite facade and
the tremendous view of the mountains beyond.
