Last undeveloped property in a residential district.
Crowded with huge stones from another construction site. Little budget and a four-person household.
But an amazing view to a marshland and to the mountains.
Unfortunately, cars are still having a very high priority in this area, so that the garage will be the main entrance for the family. If you arrive at the building the house is just a one floor high building with a gable. The elevated ground floor is the „public“ area in the house and uses the high space below the gable. The bedrooms are placed in the basement.

As the family loves to cook together, a seating niche next to the kitchen builds the heart of the building. The niche is emphasized by a cross gable and a big window to the amazing nature just right in front the new house.
