Design of a single family house in Burgenland, austria. A saddle roof was a strong requirement of the  town development plan.

Architect: HEIMSPIEL architektur
Location: Burgenland, Austria
Year: 2018
Floor space: 260m² WNF + 114m² NR
Consultant: structural analysis ‐ Petz zt gmbh
Photography: Leonhard Hilzensauer

From the architect: The project is reacting to this requirement with a new interpretation of the  classical saddle‐roof in shape of an  asymmetric multiple folded roof. An U‐shaped floor plan is  organized in 3 “wings”, the different room heights are united under the folded roof and define the  distinctive geometry.

In respect of the traditional Burgenland town‐character the house is presenting  itself closed towards the street and opens up generously in shape of an atrium house to the backyard  and garden. There are no strict borders between inside and outside – it is a smooth and floating  transition. Also the inside is designed to be an open and light‐flooded living concept.

Foyer, living room  and kitchen are one continuous living space and define the heart of the building. The folded roof is  defining the different zones and at the same time joining them as one unit. A library staircase is leading  to the first floor open gallery and the children rooms. The void allows attractive visual sights between  the two floors but maintains at the same time a feeling of privacy between the generations.

The facade  material is a rough‐saw and pre‐weathered grey larch shiplap shuttering – two different sizes divide the  face. Folding and sliding sunscreen elements out of larch‐shutters can be moved to change the buildings  face and in/outsights due to the demand of the owners.
