Fröhlich Gassner Architekten & Marc Flick Architekt

Description

The property is situated on a slight slope on the edge of a village. A house was built here in cross-laminated timber construction with a pitched roof and solid concrete base. In addition to the excellent energy balance, the cross-laminated timber also contributes to the indoor climate, which is why the walls, ceilings and roof are not clad on the inside and the wood remains visible. At the centre of the clearly zoned floor plan, which faces south-west towards the garden, is a solid concrete core. This fulfils both structural and climatic functions by absorbing heat through its mass on hot days and thus regulating the temperatures inside. In addition to light-coloured rubber flooring and white built-in wooden furniture, the house has a white felt plaster façade with almost flush-fitting windows that open outwards. The slight slope was utilised to create a lower outdoor area, which can be accessed from the living area via a concrete staircase.
