Haus im Obstgarten, Graz

The starting point was a plot of land sloping to the east with a beautiful population of apple trees. The clients wanted a cost-effective residential building organized on one level with a maximum of 115m² of living space. A classic cellar was dispensed for cost reasons, a small concrete technical room forms the central foundation and stiffens the building against wind loads. Above this is the single-storey wooden structure supported by concrete columns. The row of trees on the street side was only interrupted by the carport, the trees form a filter layer to the street space and create a courtyard-like situation in the terrace area. The living area and retreat areas were shifted towards each other so that a spacious south-facing terrace is created and the living area is ideally lit all day. Rough sawn spruce from the region was used for the facade.

What makes this project one-of-a-kind?
Sensible integration in the landscape, preserve the existing apple trees between street and garden, private yard.
