House B.A.B.E.
Linz, Austria
B.A.B.E. stands for exclusive living at Bachlberg.
The former domicile of a family of entrepreneurs from Linz is located near the top of
Bachlberg, in very quiet area near the woods, overlooking the provincial capital of
Linz, with a panoramic view of the distant Alpine foothills.
In cooperation with W. Wimmer, this run-down object with its spacious garden was
converted into a modern apartment house with three living units. The original
structure was gutted completely and extended by an additional floor with insulated
timber framing.
Starting at the socle storey, the entire structure was slightly turned to optimise its
viewing angles.
Covered entirely with grey shingles made of asbestos cement (Eternit), the building
has a very monolithic and sculptural character due to its seemingly random
distribution of apertures for windows, loggias and terraces.
The apartments of this house have very diverse characters and usable floor areas
ranging from 140 to 200 sq m.
The former indoor pool area on the ground floor was converted to an apartment with
direct access to the property's garden.
However, the crown jewel of this building is the penthouse with its open living,
kitchen and dining area and up to 6.5 meter high, open pitched roof and a gallery.
A massive open fireplace is the almost archaic centre due to its reduced design as
well as its concrete base and rough plasterwork.
Besides the impressive main room, which includes a gallery, the entrance area as
well as the bathrooms were individually designed to meet the clientʼs requirements.
