Article source: caramel architekten zt gmbh Located on the periphery of the city, the plot of land offers a spectacular view of Linz, as long as one builds high enough to be able to gaze over the neighbouring properties. That is why the ground storey lies about 6m above street level – with the pleasant side-effect of allowing the garden area to adjoin the living area on the same level to the west and north, despite the extreme slope.

Only the children’s section has a further level; each of the children’s rooms received a gallery with an adjoining children’s balcony, obtained through stacking above the access and sanitary level.

The sauna opens up onto a discreet rock garden on the northern part of the property.

The inner and outer living areas are only separated by delicate full glazing, large parts of which can be opened.
