Apartments R

A modern residential complex is emerging in the picturesque Rhine Valley, replacing an old residential building, while the adjacent barn remains intact. This sustainable wooden structure reflects the new conditions. The compact design features a simple gabled roof and is accessed from the east on the ground floor. A west-facing terrace offers stunning views of the Rhine Valley and the surrounding nature.

The ground floor includes a garden apartment for the builder’s mother, allowing her to maintain her garden and enjoy the terrace. The upper floor mirrors the layout of the garden apartment and features a generous terrace. The attic loft provides an exceptional view of the Rhine Valley. The building is clad in gray vertical fir wood paneling, treated with products like Adler Pullex Silverwood. A rooftop photovoltaic system, excellent insulation, and geothermal heating ensure sustainable operation, combining modern architecture with ecological principles.
