House P is a holiday home for a family of seven from Hamburg. The house takes ques from traditional Allgäu architecture, but results in a unique, contem- porary building.
House P’s geometry was generated by maximizing
the property’s allowable building envelope, a classic Allgäu House with a shallow gabled roof and a full lower level, and then slicing an oblique section from that volume along its center axis. From one building emerge two: a house and a storage shed. The space between o ers the family a protected courtyard for outdoor activities. The resulting slanted rear facade together with a cantilevering stair in turn allow one to reach the main entrance on dry ground. The build- ing’s canted shape also results in an impressive and generous interior space. In the main living room, a large picture window o ers majestic views of the sur- rounding mountains. The upper and lower oors are linked by a double-height living and dining room with a gallery. A replace provides comfort and warmth.
A loft at the upper level invites one to relax, read or star-gaze through windows positioned to a ord direct views of the sky. The basement o ers an additional place to retreat with two private bedrooms, a bath and a sauna.
Wood, a regional building material, comprises both the building’s main construction and facade. The facade’s timber shell is charred before assembly. This gives wood a natural and environmentally friendly weather protection and the house its unusual black appearance. Core-insulated exposed concrete at the house’s lower level contrasts the wood. It provides a solid plinth for the timber house above.
