villa 3s
Schönbrunngasse, Graz, Austria
villa3s – the architect’s house
A gorgeous
property on the fringes of Graz Geidorf, a very limiting land-use plan and a
very ambitious budget form the starting point for the planning of my own house.
Simple yet
complex; clear but also playful; light and optimistic; small yet also big. A place
that is architecturally distinct, yet eminently livable; unconventional and unique,
yet still functional for everyday living – these are the attributes of my
family’s future home.
One of the
fundamental ideas was to incorporate the relatively large property into the
living space, meaning to make the boundaries between house and garden as fluid as
possible in order to extend the living space over the entire property. This
means as many subtle, boundaries and transitions between the inside and the
outside as possible: large-scale vitrification with very large sliding doors;
terraces that lead into the property and sheltered areas serve to blur the
borders.
The
relatively strict land-use plan, which stipulated a saddle roof with a
designated inclination, presented a further challenge. A folding begins at the
seating platform on the southern terrace over the outside walls, continues over
the roof, covers the building structure and thereby forms a “saddle roof”
without taking on the appearance of a conventional saddle roof.
This
folding spatially differentiates the individual areas, thereby providing more
excitement to the entire complex. Due to the spatiality and “perspectivity”
created in this way, the house looks different from every angle.
The
interior rooms will be up to 4 meters tall, which will make the entire house
appear much larger.
The
interior of the house is centered around one main room for cooking, eating and
living. When open, large sliding doors between the individual rooms connect a
fluid, complete spatial structure. With the sliding doors closed, each room maintains
its intimacy and distinctiveness and also extends to its own outdoor area or
access. For example, the bathroom has its own, opaque terrace with an outdoor
shower, which can be converted to an interior room with the use of broad
folding doors. Weather permitting, the bathroom space can be doubled in this
way.
The building is a massive brick construction with concrete walls and a
reinforced concrete roof. This roof also serves as a thermal storage mass to
provide a pleasant indoor climate and is covered with wood outside. This shades
the planking and visually blends the terrace and roof into a unified whole.
