Text description provided by architect.
37 metres long is the single-family home that lies in the Rheintal of Vorarlberg in between the woods and water meadows.
The slender and lengthy shape is a product of the property boundaries and makes for a straightforward exception among the neighbouring structures.
The floor plan is organised as a sequence of spaces that allows for a practical arrangement of all the ancillary rooms and eventually leads to the generous and open living and working spaces.
The building accommodates the home of a young family as well as a studio for graphic design.
Living and working are united under the same roof but clearly differentiated by the entrance area on the ground floor and a loggia on the first floor.
The work of a graphic designer was also inspiration for the façade: an anthracite-coloured polyethylene screen that can be used as an ever-changing advertising space.
Openings and windows have been carefully placed along the façade reacting in its size and form to the most appealing views.
