The house, designed for a young family, derives its floor plan from the specific qualities of the plot.
Three finger-like zones in the floor plan actively connect the building with its outdoor areas, whilst creating distinct sub-areas with communal spaces that vary depending on the time of day.
The façade design logically corresponds to the three ‘fingers’ of the floor plan and actively enhances the connection between interior and exterior. Inside, a series of flowing spaces emerges, offering changing perspectives and sightlines. The stairwell, lit from above, serves as a central circulation route and, acting as a spatial hub, connects all areas and levels. The raised living room forms the social heart of the house. Both the kitchen on the ground floor and the study on the upper floor open onto this space – a vertical spatial relationship that lends a sense of depth.
The choice of materials is consistently guided by the principles of separability and recyclability. The façade is clad in recyclable sheet metal, which makes the spatial organisation visible from the outside as well. All insulation layers are mineral-based – a decision that is not only sound from a building physics perspective, but above all enables the components to be separated by type at a later stage, thereby contributing to the building’s overall life cycle. Inside, the metallic exterior is contrasted by a warm, wood-dominated palette of materials: as the predominant material, wood characterises the surfaces and reinforces the atmospheric differentiation between the flowing sequence of rooms. Both economically and in terms of design, Haus F adopts a long-term approach.
The structural sunshade system, which is integrated into the façade, passively reduces heat gain in summer and thus lowers the need for active cooling. Combined with the mineral-based insulation, which can be separated by type, this results in a building that achieves energy efficiency not through the addition of technology, but structurally through its design and choice of materials – thereby also laying the foundations for the subsequent recyclability of the building materials.
The urban positioning of the house on the plot also forms the starting point for the architectural concept: the house does not simply fit into the context as an additional element, but derives its form from it. The true innovation of House F lies precisely in this urban positioning itself: rather than a conventional, introverted placement on the plot, the finger-like orientation creates new, clearly differentiated spatial qualities in the outdoor area – zones, each with its own distinct character in terms of light, shade and use, which lend the house a spatial complexity that goes beyond its mere volume.
