The building site is situated in Mühlviertel, a region north of Upper Austria, on the edge of a small settlement. The origin of the river Kleine Rodl isn't far off and the location offers a view of hills, woods and fields. The concept for RUNDHERUM is based on a well preserved building structure. The outer walls of the solid construction remained and function as a core, the additional space was built all around that core, made out of wood and glass. The saddle roof has been removed, die garage got demolished, some openings has been expanded or closed. The inner structure remained and was merged with a second spacial layer. The new outer wall sets the rhythm: Cabinet wall, washbasin and a bathtub with a panoramic view are completing the bedroom. Two dining areas, one facing south-east, the other facing south-west, and its terrace inbetween are bordering the south-faced side of the house. The floor space got doubled from nearly 70 to around 150 square meters and functions as a new open spacial continuum. There are no access areas, all are living areas.
