Kronbühl Residence

Nestled in a quiet neighborhood overlooking the German side of Lake Constance, the intimate Kronbühl Residence sits between a vibrant sunflower plantation and an apple orchard that stretches along the rear of the plot. Designed to maximize the compact site, the three-story home seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings. A landscaped berm envelops the basement level, extending the garden into the terrain and creating a lush, continuous landscape.

In contrast, the middle level is composed of multiple bush-hammered concrete volumes, interwoven with open voids that form inviting living spaces. Above, the upper wooden volume adopts a striking triangular form, shaped by the home’s three primary views – the lake, the sunflower fields, and the orchard. This cantilevered structure not only heightens the architectural contrast but also creates sheltered outdoor spaces below, blending warmth and modernity in perfect harmony.
