The slanting of the sloped site with its exposed position on the one side, on the other side the organization of the entire living area on only one floor.  Image Courtesy © Michael Stelzhammer

The volume adapts harmoniously and unassumingly to the terrain and the surrounding. The living quarter is organized in a simple and clear L shape around a courtyard. The building is divided into two main areas.

The bedrooms are of intimate character with few, precisely placed windows. Furthermore the living areas distinguish themselves from the sleeping area by higher ceilings.

Via a couple of stairs one reaches the open kitchen and dining area as well as the living space with an incredible view over the city. An open fireplace is partitioning the space. All living areas of the ground floor have direct access to the vast terrace and pool. On the partially covered terrace one can experience the course of the sun in summer as well as winter months. The height differences of the floor around the pool are inviting to linger and enjoy. All secondary rooms including a hobby room are located on the lower level.

All outer and inner walls as well as the roof are made of pre fabricated massive wood panels. The surfaces of the panels are spruce in quality for visible areas and do not need further treatment.

The materiality of the interior space is predominately untreated, natural spruce. An interplay of oak, spruce and white painted surfaces is followed through consequently in the sleeping area.
