The approximately 1000 m² flat plot borders on the parking lot of a supermarket, so planning a quiet, idyllic home required a great deal of sensitivity. The family previously lived on 5 floors and can now spread out barrier-free on one level with 157 m².
The building is composed of three structures that merge into one another and yet stand out from one another in terms of content and appearance. The elongated, bush-hammered concrete section along the supermarket parking lot serves as a partition for the inhabited parts of the house and the terrace. It stretches between a spacious storage room with access to the garden and the double garage. In between is the sheltered, covered entrance area with carport.
The part of the building that stands out with its wooden cladding made of rough-sawn larch and borders the terrace to the north-west is partly reserved for the family's teenage son in the form of a garconniere with its own access. He can also enjoy his own outdoor area. The building section here was designed at a slight angle, bringing movement to the façade. Son Philip can enter the open, central living/dining area of the house directly from his realm. The parents' area with bedroom, wardrobe and bathroom can also be accessed from here. A home office is also located in this part of the house. The checkroom flows seamlessly into the cooking area via a wall unit.
The center of the building is the aforementioned living room with an open kitchen and dining area, which can be opened directly onto the terrace by opening large sliding glass elements. A half-height partition wall serves as a room divider and supports a comfortable bench with a wonderful view of the garden on the one hand and the TV, which faces the cozy couch area, on the other. This third section has a greater room height, is also equipped with skylights and can therefore be clearly identified from the outside.
