About Haus M Private House
Haus M is a private house in Tiefenbach, Germany, completed in 2012. The asymmetric shape of the interior recalls the image of a mine. The main room measures 10 meters by 8 meters and is 6 meters high. A sculpturally shaped gallery layer is suspended within the main room and divides its height. The main building uses a prefabricated wood frame of glued wooden beams, from which the gallery is hung. The basement and the ceiling above it are made of in-situ concrete, and the roof cladding is an aluminium alloy. The large frontal terrace adds depth to the main room.

- Production Technology
- The shape of the main building consists of an entirely prefabricated Wood Frame construction. The construction itself is made up of symmetrically arranged glued wooden beams.
The gallery plane is hung from those beams and seemingly floats within the main room.
The basement as well as the ceiling on top of it are made of in-situ concrete. The parapet of the terrace is made up of a single pre-built element of concrete.
Concrete was also used in the outside area for the ramp, the path towards the entrance and the driveway.
The roof cladding is made from metal (aluminium alloy). - Design Challenge
- The experimental architecture, as well as the resulting geometry and the artisanal execution require a huge amount of passion and concentration from all parties involved.
- Research
- The final design is a direct result of the original construction project. The task was to enable the habitant ever-changing spatial impressions within the main room depending on perspective.
The sculptural crafting and arranging of architectural planes on the in- and outside creates emotions.
The chosen geometry, the monolithic flair of the interior, as well as the vividly composed outside elements imitate archaic shapes of the traditional mining business, which have been transformed into modern architecture. - Inspiration
- The client's profession of Markscheider basically describes a surveyor who specializes in the mining business. The main goal for the concept of the building was the transformation of typical archaic mining shapes into modern architecture.
