Soft House
Hamburg, Germany
Jury Winner, 2014 A+Awards, Residential - Low Rise (1-4 Floors)
The SOFT HOUSE in Hamburg, Germany is a set of live/work row house units which offer a new model for low carbon construction and an ecologically responsive lifestyle. The Soft House demonstrates how domestic infrastructure can become ‘soft’—engaging flexible living concepts, carbon-neutral solid wood construction, and wireless building controls with responsive and performative textiles which create the public identity of the architecture. Through the conceptual reframing of ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ materials and the integration of architecture, mobile textiles, and clean energy infrastructure the SOFT HOUSE transforms the German PassiveHaus typology, offering a more flexible living experience.
