Entry Description

Inspired by the steep slow of its hillside location,the new building seamlessly integrates with the incline,while the interior echoes the surrounding peaks with a spiraling spatial landscape.Zoning is mainly achieved through the splitlevel floor heights rather than walls.This spatial design allows for adaptable use as the residents needs evolve,without the need to move a single partition wall.The timber cladding acts as a soft skin,while the exposed concrete structure forms the homes robust skeleton.This durable construction allows for an unconventionally flexible+sustainable living experience

Bio

Architecture, the art of building, and philosophy combine atmospherically into a sustainable, functional whole.

The “be” in Be Architektur alludes to the English verb “to be”. Each project is a singular entity with its own personality. Just as every person is unique, works by Be Architektur emerge from their context with a distinct character and self-expression.
