”simply built!”
I want to be able to look at “my Traunstein” and the landscape! This desire reflects the family’s closeness to nature, which can also be seen throughout the house.
Simple design language, natural materials, - grown from the familiar images of the surroundings.
The property, located west of Lake Traunsee, has been owned by the family for many years. So far, the grandparents, their children, grandchildren and cousins have shared the existing family home. The steadily growing family, as well as the desire to spend more often and together the time at and with the parents, made it necessary on the already existing property to build another single-family house and the existing house, in the summer thereafter, also to renovate.
It is very nice that a family across many generations, living together on one property… and that’s why the new building and the existing spans a beautiful common garden and outdoor area, which is used by the children to play soccer and not only connects and enables the outdoor area for the common family life, but also the passionate and common barbecue together.
“Quite simply and simply everything made of wood!”
The newly constructed home sits at the highest point of the property, opening up to Lake Traunsee and allowing the surrounding nature to flow into the home and onto the property.
A timber frame building with a ventilated wooden façade, wooden windows made of larch, the window reveals inside also clad in larch, the storey ceiling made of KLH in spruce – a building made entirely of wood, which forms a lovingly decorated casket, so to speak, something in which you keep your best and most important things, something in which you simply feel good!
It is not always easy, this tightrope walk of a further development of tradition and modernity. Although the entire building was constructed of wood, the familiar design language of the plastered ground floor was incorporated. The 3S panel on the ground floor was treated with white oil, the larch wood façade on the upper floor is natural.
