The estate is located in a rural village near of the lake “Wörthersee” which became a part of the city during the time in cause of urban expansion. The estate isn’t visible by the street area and is only accessible by a narrow, lightly rising access road.  Image Courtesy © Andrew Phelps

The ground floor should contain only a spacious foyer, a small separable apartment and a garage place.

Over a few steps which are located on the west side, it leads into the split-level garden and from southeast it goes over in a boardwalk which is in front of the separate living areas.

The white color of the building was selected to mediate a Mediterranean feeling in connection with the Pandomo- floor coating in the inside as well as the wooden floor in the patio and the boardwalk in the outside. The flat roof is extensive planted which harmonized with the building and let it be inconspicuous between the surroundings.
