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.
