Openess and View
Openness and view are the design themes for the new construction of a modern detached house close to Heidelberg. Terrace, living room, kitchen and dining area and a large balkony combine to form a spatial continuum that characterizes the entire living level. A long window facing south opens up an expansive view over the valley and the small town of Bammental to the south-west of Heidelberg.

Adaptation to the Topography of the Site
The house adapts to the challenging topography of the steeply sloping plot. Due to the hillside location, the living level is on the upper floor, while the first floor accommodates the private rooms of the house. A long staircase leads from street level to the entrance level and on to a large terrace at living level. As the central access to the entire property, the staircase shapes the image of the house outside.

Minimalist Appearance
The classic house shape of the two-storey structure with a pitched roof is derived from the tight specifications of the development plan and the typical local building style. Light-colored plastered facades and generous window areas with light-colored window frames emphasize the minimalist appearance of this house both outside and inside.
