Unique Properties

The l-shaped structure takes the different lighting situations into account.
The ground floor gives inside outside space for food preparation, cooking, dining and living, the upper floor is hosting the individual rooms.
A two-story studio window allows the western mystic light to filter through an old hornbeam tree in the center outside.
A generous opening to nature in the morning and the evening are part of the magic natural ambiance which makes this place so special.
Raw materials absorb the light, larchwood shingles and copper cladding outside reflect the nature to the inside.

Operation Flow

Terms such as generosity, Flexibility and honesty, lightness and transparency, gentleness, dignity and elegance, describe perfectly the inside and outside feeling of the building.

Research

Through the poetic dimension of natural light, the discovery of shadow, and the light touch of sunlight, rooms were created with the intention to touch the heart and soul.
The art of controlling the natural and artificial light in the interior concept brings an immediate physical involvement of the people in the changing seasons’ underlines the volatility of the reality and the interdependence between humans and the natural environment. This requires an organic merge between architecture and nature.

Inspiration

The plastic beauty of the building is architecturally designed in perfect harmony with the natural splendor of its surroundings and the needs of a patchwork family of five Kids.
The quality and beauty of the project lay in hidden details, in the surprising views, in the play of light and shadow, in the integration of landscape, garden, and interior into a Gesamtkunstwerk, an integrated and holistic masterpiece of architecture.
