Family House in Lofer by LP Architektur

The family house by Thomas Lechner is like a black jewel set in the village of Lofer near the Austrian-German border. Its shape resembles a snowplow gliding over the grassy slopes of the Tyrolean Alps. The compact black wooden structure with large windows has only one bedroom and one living space spread across three levels. The topography of the land dictates the terraced stepping of the house. At the lower part of the property, there is a covered parking space made of exposed concrete. The long access staircase, also made of concrete, leads through the entrance hall into the dining room in the center of the house. The lower part is designated for the kitchen, which offers a view of the valley from the terrace. The upper living area with a fireplace and a balcony is introvertedly oriented towards the forest.
