House Grabs – Oven as a core element
Grabs
lies at the foot of the Grasberg in the Rhine valley of St. Gallen. The house
is in a mature neighborhood with an ordered structure in the center of the
community and blends inconspicuously into this situation.
Designed
as a wooden structure, it is heated entirely with wood logs. The oven heater
was therefore placed centrally, in order to radiate optimally. As a result, the
entrance, kitchen, dining and living rooms are situated around this core
element.
