Entry Description

Located on a Salzburg City slope, this structure offers a connection to the outdoors while enabling various altitudes and distant views. The compact design, except for the ground floor forecourt, dominates the mountain surface. High windows correspond to balconies and terraces, providing a primary relationship with outside space. A floor plan tapering towards the view and a mixture of wood, concrete and pig iron create tension and coziness. Raw beauty is celebrated, such as in the kitchen and living room's breathtaking Salzburg mountain views. Canopies and terraces protect against overheating.
