The little farmhouse in a rural village some 60 km north of Vienna is of traditional u-shaped layout: living spaces to one side, stable and barn on the other side of a small courtyard, with a covered driveway connecting the two volumes. The original structure was built on purely functional principles, with protection being the main object. Due to the sloping terrain this resulted in a partially buried structure without any relationship with the surrounding landscape.
