Inside, the residing spaces occupy an L-shaped block that is positioned on the opposite side of the courtyard from the practical service areas.
“The clients wished for an inexpensive home with a highest of spatial attributes,” explained architect Karin Triendl.
“The L-shaped floor program gives various spatial relationships and generates an interesting area continuum about the patio collectively with the garage and workshop.”

The construction was constructed from bricks with a thickness of 50 centimetres, making sure a appropriate interior climate without having the need for further insulation, even though galvanised steels sheets create a homogenous surface across the roof.
The street-dealing with facade is entirely windowless, with two timber doors indicating the place of the garage and the major entrance.
“We needed to create numerous outdoor spaces of varied characteristics and to produce privacy with out making use of fences and hedges,” explained Triendl. “Garage and storage spaces are constructed along the border of the plot as we wished the property to occupy the whole front facade.”
The entrance prospects to a decked walkway that extends about the pebble-filled planted bed in the direction of the main garden and swimming pool at the rear of the plot.
A doorway to the appropriate of the decking opens onto a hall subsequent to a staircase. The upper level houses two bedrooms and a playroom that can be closed off employing a partition.
The hallway is brightly lit by a window that extends from the floor and seems to be onto the courtyard. At the far end is the dining location and kitchen, which open onto a terrace sheltered beneath the lowest part of the roof.
The kitchen’s double-height ceiling slants upwards to meet the projecting volume of a single of the bedrooms on the upper floor.
A workshop subsequent to the garage has the likely to accommodate bedrooms on the first floor, forming a self-contained apartment must the needs of the loved ones modify as the youngsters grow up.
The project was completed for approximately €1,660 per square metre – around 3 quarters of the average residence price in Austria, in accordance to the architects.
