Chaise Lounge: Building
Palting, Austria
Accommodating the wishes of the client for a compact, simple, economic, and energy-efficient house, the architects, in contrast to the ordinary two-storey shoebox in wood construction, respond to the long, narrow site by reducing the building to a horizontally extended element, much like an elegant chaise lounge carefully placed in a beautiful garden.Four simple measures create an open, friendly spatial interaction with the surrounding nature:1. single level designa slim, one level form allows the visual transition from the two level neighbours’ house located to the west to the verdant pastureland to the east.2. garden walls garden walls integrated into the interior space, through their extension to the exterior garden area, establish a visual and physical connection to the encompassing landscape. The locations of these walls within the property encourages varying definitions of the garden. Within the house itself, these walls promote a visual connection to the surrounding meadows and forest.3. split-level designas an analogy to the chaise lounge, the sleeping area is slightly raised in relation to the living area. This split-level design creates a 1 1/2 level living area and provides a large cellar located under the sleeping area.4. linear progessionThe linear progression through the varying building heights allows diverse views to the surrounding countryside. The east facade, with its view over the meadows to the forest, remains open, while the west facade facing the neighbour, remains primarily closed.
