The
new house is on a plot of land near Stuttgart, on a hillside with a generous
view of the valley. The owners wanted a new home that would bring this view to
life even inside of the building. The house is in a residential area with
conventional developments, most of which date from the 1960s.
The
new, 4-person family home is divided into an elevated ground floor with
entrance area, utility room and spa, and a second floor with an open,
flowing floor plan containing the living, dining and kitchen areas. Full-height
glazing provides a free view of the valley and terrace looking over the garden
area. Upstairs are the sleeping areas, dressing rooms and bathrooms. The
central design element is a sculptural staircase that connects all three levels.
