The building site is in Hagenberg im Mühlkreis, a municipality with 2800 inhabitants in the Mühlviertel. On the property there is already a single-family house built in the 1980s. Another wooden building was to be built. The constraints of the site and the existing building allowed for a special building design. The result of the designprocess was a 22m long and 5m wide single-family house with a gable roof. The house is positioned as an elongated timber construction, oriented north-south, along the eastern site-boundary. The existing building and the new building create a successful opportunity for densification on the shared property. The two-storey structure, with a vertical larch wood facade, combines all functions under one roof. Design language, choice of materials and level of detail give the building its special characteristics and uniqueness.
