Text description provided by architect.
The house is located in a densely urbanized area with single-family houses on the outskirts of Salzburg.
The building is defined by three key elements: natural stone facades, a horizontal plane of exposed concrete, and three pyramidal sheet metal trunks.
The closed and cryptic house opens towards the interior garden and the double-height spaces under the truncated pyramids.
The visitor discovers the spatial qualities sequentially, where the sensation of compression of the entrance disappears with the tangential view of the patio (semi-open by means of an exposed concrete lattice) or experiencing how the sunlight filters through the skylights of the three decks, creating a play of light and shadow in double-height spaces.
Inside: colors, textures, and natural materials such as walnut wood or velvet are combined creating an atmosphere of calm and seclusion that contrasts with the "hardness" of the outside shell.
Protected by a large overhang, the exterior porch develops as an extension of the interior through large sliding doors, generating a secluded space in the open air where to enjoy the garden and the natural polished concrete pool.
In short, it has been intended to make a timeless work reminiscent of the "mid-century houses", a discreet architecture that seems to have always been in the place but with an expressive, own, and contemporary language.
