The house is a further development of “Haus 9x9”. The distinctive
feature of the property lies in its north-facing slope, which has to be
negotiated over two storeys to reach the almost flat garden level. This gives
rise to the leitmotiv of a “house winding up the slope”, with a quarry-stone
façade whose colour gradient aspires to the light and the garden-related
programme areas.
Despite its complex geometry, the house is organised in clearly
perceivable zones, based initially on additive modules of 7.80 by 7.80 metres. Lighting plays a particularly important role. Lateral light from the
south and west and overhead light in the north and east sections make
systematic use of shadow and diffuse light.
