The façade of this house was restored by Josin and his father in 1987; it is the family house where the craftsman grew up. Located in the village of Susch in the region of Engadine, it bears the inscription “Chasa Solena”, meaning “Solena house” in Romansch. The sgraffito decorations are focused around the windows, the door and on the outer part of the façade, and the motifs used are traditional ones of the sgraffito art.

The façade of this old mill was restored by Josin Neuhäusler in 2017. Using the technique of sgraffito as it was first intended, to decorate houses, Josin created all sorts of traditional ornaments, from texts to decorations surrounding the windows and doors, to drawings of plants.
