The clients, a young family of five, desired an open home with direct outdoor access from as many rooms as possible. In warmer months large openings in the facade were to eliminate a separation of indoor and outdoor spaces. The peaceful location in Stuttgart offered excellent conditions: on the edge of a residential area in a valley with stunning views across orchards and forest. The slope of the property granted sufficient privacy for the large glazed openings of the southern façade.
The clients imagined the house to be generous, open and modern. Additionally, 1980s residential development regulations required a uniform gabled roof. From these requirements and specifications, the building was designed as a reinforced concrete frame with wide, surrounding balconies under a gabled roof. To allow the balconies to be used in any weather condition, the building closes into a clear volume with the roof edge following the profile of the balconies. A generous south-facing overhang provides effective sunshade without interrupting the continuity of inner and outer spaces. The concrete roof is separated from the building volume by a continuous glass ribbon creating the appearance of a floating roof.
All the living spaces are oriented inward with generous glazing to the south, providing views into the countryside. The living and dining areas are situated under the gabled roof offering high, generous ceiling heights. While the common living areas on the ground floor are fluently connected, the more private rooms are located on the garden level.
The choice of materials reflects the desire for clear and honest design. Partly raw, unprocessed materials such as concrete, wood flooring, and a facade of rough-sawn, varnished boards create a reduced, but not cold architectural language.
