The Röhrig House in Sinzig, Germany by studio hertweck l architecture + urban designNovember 7th, 2020 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: studio hertweck l architecture + urban design The Röhrig House is part of a series of hillside houses designed by Studio Hertweck in the German Rhine Valley. It is located on a steep slope on the edge of the buildable land of Sinzig-Westum, a German municipality between Bonn and Koblenz. The client, a young family with one child, wanted to have generous interior and exterior shared areas, in combination with a rather classical program: two children’s bedrooms, a home office, a parents’ bedroom and two bathrooms. In order to translate this program in an economic way, we have inscribed a very simple cube into the slope. Garage and storage rooms were accommodated in the ground floor, the children’s bedrooms with a bathroom in the first floor.  Image Courtesy © Bildpark / Veit Landwehr, Cologne

On the third floors we located the parents’ area with their bedroom, bathroom and home office. The garden has been connected to the roof terrace by a set of terraces and outside stairs so that you can walk around the house while opening up beautiful views of the landscape.

To push the economy of the project even further, we designed a single shaft in the centre of the cube which contains all the networks of the house: from electric cables to water pipes, from the chimney flue to the laundry chute. All the technical appliances and sanitary equipment are arranged around this shaft so that they can be connected exclusively to it. The house is designed so that there are no thermal bridges and is heated by an air-water heat pump.
