Residential Building AAG

Functionality, economy and plain aesthetics were the focal points for the design of this building.

The two-storey building which was developed analogously to the steep slope is divided into an upper entry and living area at street level and a lower sleeping area with access to the garden. The garage and main building are arranged offset from one another generating a sheltered terrace towards the garden with direct access from the kitchen.

The ground plan is simple, clear and meets the required residential needs of a four-headed family: the serving rooms are located on the street side while the living and sleeping rooms are oriented towards the garden. Since all living rooms are aligned towards the garden - despite the north-facing slope - a gabled roof structure has been chosen which opens southwards through a generous clerestory. The graduation of the roofscape enables a large amount of light coming into the entire living area creating a harmonious play of light and shadow simultaneously satisfying the desire for security. In the dining and living area a wide window unit grants scenic views.

The low-energy house, equipped with controlled ventilation, heat pump and solar panels, was built in massive construction.
