The Design

About Goethestrasse 1 Etxe pribatua

Goethestrasse 1 Bad Homburg-en (Alemania) dagoen etxe pribatu bat da. Diseinuak garapen-plan zorrotz bat kokapenak moldatutako forma arkitektoniko lasai bihurtzen du. Eraikinak bere eskala propioa garatzen du paisaiarekin eta inguruko eraikinekin harremanetan. Barrualdearen eta kanpoaldearen arteko harreman zabalak sortzen dira zuhaitz baliotsuak dituen lursail txiki batean. Argiak, itzalak eta beirazko fatxaden aurrean dagoen ur-azalaren islek barruko giroa moldatzen dute. Hormigoiak, altzairuzko euskarriek eta aurrefabrikatutako zurezko elementuek osatzen dute egitura.

Unique Properties: The architecture develops its own sensitive scale to the landscape and the built environment.
The aim was to define generous relationships between inside and outside on the small property with valuable trees and the given building scale. The play of light and shades of the trees as well as the reflections of the water surface in front of the glazed facades create intense room atmospheres.
Dimensions & Packaging: Property size: 894 qm Dimensions: 17.40 m x 9.90 m x 10.12 m

Production Technology: Sustainability has been the main objective regarding the construction of the building. All materials were utilized with the focus on meaningfulness.

The dwelling house and the carport consist of concrete due to the spans, geometries as well as the plasticity.
Steel V-supports carry the loads.
The attic consists of prefabricated elemental wooden stud walls and ceilings.
Heating and cooling is provided via an air heat pump. Thermal comfort is achieved by capillary heating mats (low temperature).
Design Challenge: The confrontation with the strict planning law requirements was the biggest challenge.
Through the experimental search for the specific structural form, an architecture based on the location could be developed, free from any constraints and open to human beings with all their senses and emotions.
Research: The possible arrangements of the residential levels on the limited area of the building dimensions as well as in the given cubature underwent intensive examination. The spatial aspects, orientation, light, water, plastic shape and the valuable tree population were of great importance.
Inspiration: Our goal was to transform a very strict development plan into a serene, powerful and location-independent architectural form, while the existing trees should become part of the whole.
Project Duration: Bad Homburg, Germany
2016
Operation Flow: A tilted exterior wall is used to create the airspace that connects the ground floor with the upper floor, while also enabling natural lighting for the basement. The sloping high windows upstairs create the feeling of living within the treetops. The different levels are accessed by an open steel staircase, which also serves as a highly sculptural element of the inside area. The monolithically shaped facade of the building creates a distinct measurement in cohesion with the opulent tree population of the property.
