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.
