House in Perchtoldsdorf near Vienna

The idea of a villa, an expanse of houses and land, echoes dynastic opulence. The challenge for this commission in a quiet environment on the outskirts of Vienna was to achieve the maximum permitted building volume on a very narrow plot. And to create a modern environment for two generations to live.
The first impression when looking at the volume of the house is a living box; however, the eye soon detects a slight discrepancy in volumes between the right and sharp angle. A slight irregularity of angles is used both on the outside and inside. This movement can be felt throughout the entire structure of the building. From the intimate entrance to the open spaces of the main living areas, one can discern a certain tension between these two geometries.
The façade of the house itself, made of lime plaster, is a reminiscence of the unique skill of the traditional craftsmanship of Viennese houses from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In recent decades, this art has been replaced by the standardized use of polystyrene facades and the systematic application of exterior plasters.
