House Lindau, Lake Constance, Germany
La casa de una planta, construida con madera de cedro, se implanta en un terreno ligeramente inclinado con una espectacular vista al lago Constance, Alemania. Su forma discreta no altera el escenario y, a través del tiempo, la pátina de las fachadas la integran a su entorno natural. La casa se divide en dos áreas. La sección trasera con una fachada cerrada contiene los dormitorios, mientras que un comedor abierto y la zona de estar con su chimenea dan al lago. Una combinación de calefacción geotérmica y paneles fotovoltaicos en la azotea producen la mayor parte de la energía requerida, complementada con la chimenea del salón de estar.
The single floor residential home made of cedar wood was built on a slightly sloping property with direct access and spectacular view to the lake. In the course of time, the patina of the facade is intended to adjust to its natural surroundings. Thus the building discreetly takes a backstage, without disrupting the lake view.
The home is divided into two sections. The rear section with a closed facade contains the bedrooms and functional rooms. An open dining and living area with a fireplace faces the lake. The entire length of this side features floor-to-ceiling glazing, offering a fascinating view of the entire Lake Constance.
A combination of geothermal heating and rooftop photovoltaic panels produce most of the energy, supplemented by a fireplace in the living area.
