THE CHERRY HOUSE
An elongated wooden structure with a longitudinal pitched roof, resting on a solid basement - describes the reduced appearance of the residential building. The property for four other residents of the market town of Weibnitz is located in an agricultural village with only around 30 inhabitants near Neunkirchen in Lower Austria. The family-owned hillside property is located on the southern edge of the village community, characterized by a cherry tree that was planted decades ago and is therefore namegiving. In the west, nearby spruce forests border and the view of the massif of the Rax-Schneeberg Group is convincing.
“Right from the start, the design was based on the archetype of an elongated structure with a sloping roof. The openings, deliberately chosen incisions with a view of the adjacent forests, the mountain backdrop, and the cherry tree.”
The black-framed entrance is at the level of the original site, accessible via a staircase made of blasted concrete. The glazed entrance on the east is reflected in the same axis to the west as an exit to the garden. The consistently designed floor plan arranged on two hips is traversed along an open gable in the central axis. The family's living rooms are to the south and connected to the loggia carved out of the corner of the building. The chimney serves as a divider, offers additional privacy, and optimally stores the heat thanks to its central position. Like a painting on the wall, the window, which runs the length of the kitchen and is positioned at worktop, frames the view of the mountains and forests. The family's private rooms are to the north. The bathroom and the sleeping area towards the private garden and the children's room under the canopy of the cherry tree.
The load-bearing structure is a timber frame construction, which rests on a solid concrete base. The outer skin is clad in a dark ebonised and band-sawn spruce façade. The boards connected by means of tongue and groove give the building a restrained, simple, reduced look. The window frames and the roof surface are also subdued in terms of color and create the necessary contrast with their matt black appearance. Every opening in the structure was deliberately chosen, such as the square opening with a deep seat parapet under the cherry tree. The interior contrasts with the dark exterior. Finely tuned materials such as naturally oiled spruce windows and brushed oak parquet not only create a place to dwell, but to live.
