Klaus von Bock | Residential Building | Waldenbuch, Germany
The brief for the architect was to create a house in which people might live in unison with nature, in which they feel part of the universe, day and night, in Summer and in Winter.
The kitchen has been integrated in the two-sided glazed main living room area. It forms the intersection between dining area, canopied outside sitting area and living room
in the horizontal aspect and the three floors in the vertical aspect. Thus it is at the same time centre of the house and focal point of family and public life.
Designed by the architect as a two-sided open block,
positioned in the room, this kitchen is effective as a self
contained architectural element, giving structure to the
main living level, without restricting the view. The block is
closed towards the living room area in the South so as to
provide space for floor-to-ceiling cupboards and appliance
housings. Correspondingly 120 cm deep floor units form a
free-standing island in the same visual alignment as the
dining table. The walls of the kitchen block are clad inside
and out with relief-type kitchen fronts in a bordeaux colour.
Thus the kitchen brings a colour highlight, visible from the
outside, into the otherwise grey based living surroundings.
The light vanilla tone of the matt lacquered kitchen fronts
provides a pleasantly warm atmosphere.
From every room the eye can see the surrounding landscape.
By using Geothermal technology together with a
heat pump, the house can be heated at favourable cost
in Winter. In the Summer – despite large areas of glass –
kept at a pleasant temperature with the help of the cool
temperature of the earth. When the glow of the floating
fireplace replaces the setting sun little-by-little, the senses
turn away from the outside to inside, bringing a feeling of
quiet, harmony and relaxation.
