2010 3rd Prize Heinze Award for Residental Building
„All I see is the sea“ - of the 700 square meter large villa is its intense iconic, spacial and contemplative dedication to the sea and
its veils of weather: like a hollowed stone at the beach the villa shows an
urban frontispiz with a perspectival main entrance and a loggia towards the
street. Towards the sea the volume cascades down in a series of terraces in two
wings thus giving each room and floor view and terrace platform to the sea.
In the midst lies the central glas garden hall with living
room, library and dining room.
From here a conic lawn ramp flanked by flower- and a wooden
terraces leads to the marina at the sea,
A skylobby connects the upper floors with 5 private for
inhabitants out of 3 generations opening another panorama view over the sea
The gardenfloor contains the cruziform shaped wellness-area
with different saunas showers and whirlpool. A perspectival swimming pool
focusses on the sea window thus allowing permanent swimming with view towards
the sea due to a shafting equipment.
The athmospheric monocromy of the subtle profiled
building-skin –chalked light yellowish waterbricks, similar colored joints and
pigmented prefab concrete elements for all stairs, beams, sills and benches -
perpetuates the light dust of the sea within the materiality of the
terrace-villa.
