Winning a competition Stephan Maria Lang provides a home to a young family in a Munich residential area. The I-shaped building is protected towards the street by a 7 Meter high white call.
A copper cladded garage layed in front forms a protected driveway- space and one great opening marks the needle ear to the very private garden and living space behind the wall.
A spatial continuum connected to nature by large sliding door and a weather protected veranda facing a 15 Meter long work out Pool which is used almost all year thanks to an efficient energy saving concept. The Parent- and children sleeping area in the 2 floor are separated by a 2 story open entrance volume.
Natural autochthon Materials reduced to oiled natural oak and dark shell limestone in contrast to white plastered walls gives the house the briefed Atmosphere of a classic Bauhaus Villa.
A efficiently planned energy concept, with concrete core cooling-heating, sun collectors, thermal heat pump and controlled air ventilation, meets the standards of a German low-energy house.
