Article source: Fabian Evers Architecture The unusual task and the difficult building site was at one hand a big challenge but on the other a big potential. The owner requested a workshop for his Unimog and a small residential unit. The site is located directly next to a street with heavy traffic and is surrounded by small private houses and farm buildings. A crucial parameter was the very tight cost frame.

The result is a vertically developed house. The variation of the two different uses reflects itself through the facade: The lower part of the workshop is cladded with translucent polycarbonate elements.

The living space presents itself with its anthracite facade as a monolithic volume. Precise set windows and a generous south oriented loggia enables beautiful views into the surrounding landscape. The chosen materials for the facade and inside the building underlines the pragmatic and reduced design concept: a house which is rather located in the typologies of a rational farmhouse or of a workshop than a classical residential house.
